In 6 Months, Australia Bans More Than 240 Games

dotarray writes with this snippet from (apropos) Player Attack: In the 20 years from 1995 to January 2015, there were 77 games Refused Classification in Australia. After January though, more than 240 games have been effectively banned by the Classification Board — an average of 40 per month. Most of these games are mobile- or digital-only releases you're unlikely to have ever heard of, with names like League Of Guessing, 'w21wdf AB test,' Sniper 3D Assault Zombie, Measure Bra Size Prank, and Virtual Marijuana Smoking showing up in just the first few pages. What games are banned in your country?

Just imagine all those games get that free advertising. "Banned in Australia" could become the new measure of how cool a game is.

cock fighting, bear baiting, and tackle football (NFL doesn't like it, anymore).

Be glad they didn't ban Manic Miner.

He's called Bipolar Geological Engineer now.
