"Banned" Games

BoB_BoT

Okies, so i'm in the mood for some weird abstract and well "banned" games as I've mentioned in one of my other posts. anywho, i remember watching tumb bandits a long time ago on channel 4 and they did a special on "banned" games. Some were too violent, hypnotic etc.... to be released this side of the world and so were banned. So if anyone knows of any such games could you please name them I'd like to have a look to see if I can purchased a couple of them.
Thanks,
BoB_BoT

just becuase a game is banned doesn't mean it's good...
hooligans being a perfect example.

carmageddon is the only other game i can think of, so much more fun with the blood patch:)

was postal banned?

And how do you "purchase" banned games if they are banned?


yes Hooligans did suck monkeys balls.

My ex claimed that friend of hers had ferreted out a copy of the banned "Thrill Kill", which was some kind of BDSM-themed FPS. Sounds so good it hurts.

Thrill Kill was the original incarnation of wu-tang: taste the pain.

it was a four player beat em up with lots of ultra-violence, bdsm nurses and midgets on stilts and going by wu-tang was actually quite good. it was leaked many years ago and is available to download if you know where to look, and i dont

TheAlmightyArse

Nurses? Midgets?! Pah, I think I'll stick to Return to Castle Wolfenstein for my- um, perhaps this isn't the most apt forum on the net for all that, though. Heh.

speaking of taste the pain; i know someone who has it...they got it ages back..im not sure if they still have but will find out.

or you could be really bad and evil and go 2 germany and play the irish version of rtcw (with all the insignias and everythin), that way u can play a banned game!

Phantasmagoria was banned in ireland wasnt it?

when things are banned it makes them 100% cooler do you agree, thers nothing like having something that is banned and showing it off to your friends

BoB_BoT

well yeah the coolness factor of owning a banned game hehe. but there were some games that interested me on tumb bandits

bugs

Thrill kill was never actually banned, that seems to have become a rumour that spread a bit too far. It was pulled before release. The pre-release copy that did the rounds was terrible anyway. It wasn't particularly gory, the graphics being awful didn't help. Got a copy of it but it was only good for about 10 minutes of seeing what the deathmoves were with each character and for the most part they were pretty boring. Stilts down the throat, exploding heads, nothing new.

Out of curiosity was Hitman 2 banned. I remember hearing about it being offending to seiks or something like that

Lewcifer

i dont think it was banned. maybe in some parts of the world but i know it was pulled from the shelves somewhere aswell

Why does the "abstract games" need to be banned?
There's loads of games that are a little different that are actually available to buy, or will be soon.

weemcd

hitman wasnt banned but a level set inside a mosque with terrorists was removed because it caused offence or something

Placebo

well Vice city was banned from australia !

and 28days is just being released in usa !

Deadwing

I think Barbarian was banned for a while too, wanst it? But that was possibly due to the cover which featured wolf from gladiators oiled up holding a big sword...ohhh...creepy.

in germany doesnt the blood in their games have to be green? or is that gone by now?

tbh good riddance to those banned games containing sex

Clintons Cat

Hitman 2 wasnt banned however,siekh lobbyists managed to persuade Edios to remove some crass anti siekh literature in the game "history" from their website,because it was a gross distortion of history based around the events of Golden Temple Siege.

Retr0gamer

What about the most offensive game of all. Well nintendo thought it was. Tengens version of tetris was banned by nintendo because they didn't pay them to release it (well it's more complex than just that).

All blood must be green and all those who die must be portrayed as far from human as possible. A good way to see this is, in GTA3, change the language to german. Now there is no blood, and you can't run over people lieing on the ground.

BoB_BoT

yeap german blood must be non existant or green. if you look at any game that has gore/blood in it, you'll be able to find a blood patch in german hehe
