Impossible, because the classification system is a voluntary guideline, not a legal limitation. That is precisely why these laws always get struck down - they're trying to legally enforce what is an industry's own guideline, and aside from anything else the government hasn't done it's thing to see if it is effective.

Because selling liquor to minors is illegal. Selling videogames to minors is not. The ESRB is not a lawmaking or law enforcing body, it just creates guidelines. Games don't even have to go to the ESRB before they get released, but I suspect most stores won't sell the game if they do.
