Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (or ELSPA) is an organisation set up in 1989 by British software publishers. It was known as The European Leisure Software Publishers Association until 2002.
Between 1994 and Spring 2003 ELSPA voluntarily rated computer games released in Britain that were exempt from legal classification (this has now been replaced by a European ratings system, called PEGI).
ELSPA are responsible for providing sales charts for computer games sold in the United Kingdom, and promoting anti-piracy initiatives.
