Exactly......... Does it make you wonder whether the governing power in

Perhaps even, for instance, they might have some kind of blackmailed knife
dangling over the heads of those whom are writing the rules for the
publishing allowances of Computer software? It sounds quite weird
really......
The thing about Duke3d that I liked was they actually rewrote the game to
match Australian censorship standards. Has there been any news of ID writing
some kind of rewrite of Doom ][ that might exclude the supposably fascist
levels? The thing I can't understand is why they take it so seriously? It is
meant to be making a joke out of the fascists THEMSELVES - ie. portrail of
the fascist element of society as being "weak" - and is in no harm
of nor portrays any innocent victims of resemblance. Just a question, of no
relation to you whatsoever but rather of interest only.
