Leisure Suit Larry Banned

Posted by michael on from the punny-title dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude has been refused classification and banned by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) due to its sexual content. Being produced by Sierra, Larry's exploits are more cheeky than they could ever be offensive, so is this really justified? Oh well, off to bit torrent I go..."

    Assuming the poster is from Australia, can't he just import instead of resorting to theft? Or is flat out possession of the title illegal?

    These depictions occur in "full-motion video sequences" and include instances such as Larry receiving below-screen fellatio from Koko. "Sucking sounds are heard," said the OFLC.
    Oh my!

    Seriously, come on, why exactly should this game be banned? Who exactly is it going to shock? Veterans of the series will know what to expect when buying this game, but then so will newcomers because the game is marked as 15+ only!

    Honestly, if this is for 'the kids' then why can't you just accept that most of them have seen porn already and this is not exactly the kind of thing that is going to have them complain is it?!

  3. Without Al Lowe? by glowimperial · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not buying a LSL game that doesn't have Al Lowes greasy paws all over it. I used to buy Sierra games because they had the best designers, making the best games. Now, they are just milking licenses.
