I think that they're at work banning farting in church.


I swear, one day someone will ban preaching in church. Leisure Suit Larry is a crappy game, but I get the thread maker's point, one day we could have all violent games banned- and we couldn't do a thing about it.

At least, I think that's what he meant...

lol, ME a hippie! thats a good one. this has nothing to do with not accepting other cultures or anything, this has to do with this being probably the 10th thread about australia. and in my post i stated why not talk about london or china or whatever. that right there proves that i am not biased to other cultures.

They keep baning games, Larry, GTA's, etc...

With all the smut and -blam!- that is so easily accessible, it almost makes sense to ban a silly game like one of the Leisure Suit Larry series.

Aussie government says Magna -blam!- Laude won't be coming at all to gamers in Oz.
Try as he might, Larry Lovage won't be going down under anytime soon, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna -blam!- Laude has been blocked from entry into Australia. Various Australian news agencies reported last week that the Office of Film and Literature Classification, the branch of the Australian government that rates all video games that enter the country, has banned the title.


The report issued by the office indicates that the game's mature content, specifically the cinematic scenes that feature "obscured and/or implied sensual activity and obscured and partial nudity involving stylised, animated characters."

Earlier this year, the office refused to classify Rockstar's gory slasher Manhunt. It is now illegal to import, rent, or sell either game in Australia.

Published by Vivendi Universal for the PC, PlayStation 2, and Xbox, Leisure Suit Larry: Magna -blam!- Laude represents the rebirth of the classic adventure game series published by Sierra On-Line in the 1980's and 1990's. It is legal in the United States, although if reviews of the title are any indication, Australian gamers are not missing much.

while i find the game distasteful and i would never purchase it myself. i like being told what i can and can't buy even more distasteful. it's the parents job to decide what video games their kids should have and the government should just keep there hands out of it.

I wonder what the laws are like in Australia concerning -blam!-, legal sex, and other related fields. If the country is that uptight about games, I'd hate to think of what else they slap harsh regulations on.
