Mogul Posted December 10, 2003 Not rats, penguins. Penguins, Nanami, penguins. At any rate, that's an odd reason to ban the Matrix. And whatever that has to do with Doom being banned... that's silly too. 0 Share this post Link to post

[ontopic]Computer games were, arguably, banned for a while in Greece (around August-October 2002). I made a particular point of playing Doom in Greece during that period. :) [/ontopic] 0 Share this post Link to post

Lengis Posted December 11, 2003 "Egypt - they banned matrix for questioning creationism, so it is logical doom is banned. heh may not even be banned, not sure, i just know they get ban happy" Wtf? You sure you got the right country there man? 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted December 12, 2003 yep, i am sure about the matirix banning. the words were it was banned due to the fact that it questioned exsistance and creation. also bruce almighty was banned because "god's powers are his own" remember egypt aint free speech, i dont know how good we are with them (they hate isreal) its a muslim rule coutry with strict muslim laws, so duh. as for doom being banned, not sure. i just know about those 2 movies 0 Share this post Link to post

Reisal Posted December 15, 2003 Sephiroth said:Germany, Doom II - edited to remove the wolf3d nazi stuff. They needed the dev's permission to edit. I really hate germany's anti-nazi stuff. I mean, it's just a friggan symbol! I'm half german and honestly don't give a crap about that (no i'm not a neonazi). Hell, maybe I should tatoo a swastika on my wrist and visit the country. Same goes to them making violent games like Half-Life to low violence. (human grunts were changed to robots, their blood was changed to oil) [offtopic]I'll have to rant about the other country my other half of my roots come from sometime (Poland)[/offtopic] 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted December 16, 2003 yeah germany is just against videogame violnce in general XD, i think that was one of the places where carmageddon was edited to change innocent people to zombies, with green blood, it also was in britain after a load of media shit, but then the GTA series wasnt (not that it didnt go unnoticed XD) 0 Share this post Link to post

Sporku Posted December 16, 2003 Germany, Doom II - edited to remove the wolf3d nazi stuff. So I guess Wolf3D was banned altogether in that country. 0 Share this post Link to post

Hirogen2 Posted December 16, 2003 Sephiroth said:Germany, Doom II - edited to remove the wolf3d nazi stuff. My copy of Doom2 still has MAP31 and 32, including all Hakenkreuz/Swastika symbols, the blue SS officers, and the Cyberdemon. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted December 16, 2003 the nazi sysmbol isnt really a swastika, a swaskita points in the other direction. (i think this is true) but besides germany, brasil and egypt, what other coutries have banned or use edit versions of doom(2)? once agian exclude coutries that are prohibitade form trade with US 0 Share this post Link to post

Cassi Posted December 29, 2003 eventually everything that can corupt a persons mind will be banned. everyone pretends to be afraid what the world is coming to instead of facing the fact that the world is already there... Cassi 0 Share this post Link to post
