Leisure Suit Larry Banned

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..."

Why?

refused classification and banned by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) due to its sexual content.

Maybe some of our Australian friends can help us out with this, but why would they ban this game? It can't be any worse than an "American Pie" type movie, or any other recent comedy films. Is Australia this strict with it's movies also?

Who Cares?

Sure it is a whole country that Sierra can't sell to, but I think the very content that they are banning the game for is the very reason a lot of people play the game (or at least got into the series in the first place), so changing it in any regard to get around the sensorship would comprimise the marketability of the game.

Eventually, we will look back on these days when we tried to control the media content people were exposed to and laugh.... or we will all be in cages with a barcode tattooed to our necks.
