What were the coders/designers thinking? :-)))))))) BMX XXX : Knocked out a sub-standard BMX sim? No problem - just put lots of over-endowed topless female characters in it and change the title to something risqué. This shocker brought in nudity to replace playability - you could even unlock footage of strippers - but it didn't impress major US games sellers like Wal-Mart, which promptly pulled the title from its shelves. Bully (Canis Canem Edit) : If you want to kick off a little controversy before a game has even hit the shelves then you can do worse than calling it 'Bully' and showing footage of the protagonist punching another pupil. Re-named Canis Canem Edit (Latin for dog eat dog) in this region - this game was not nearly as controversial as the hype suggested. Still, that didn't stop anti-bullying groups giving it a sound kicking and probably a wedgie as well. Carmageddon : Carmageddon's brush with controversy came about thanks to its focus on the running over of pedestrians. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) took exception to the blood and gore that was splashed about throughout the game and denied it a certificate. It took 10 months for that decision to be overturned, with a modified version which saw victims spurt green blood sold in the interim. http://tech.uk.msn.com/gaming/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=149689974&page=2 _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1f... ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke _______________________________________________ Skunkworks mailing list Skunkworks@lists.my.co.ke http://lists.my.co.ke/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/skunkworks ------------ Skunkworks Server donations spreadsheet http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AopdHkqSqKL-dHlQVTMxU1VBdU1BSWJxdy1f... ------------ Skunkworks Rules http://my.co.ke/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=94 ------------ Other services @ http://my.co.ke -- Regards, Joe Linux User: #361092 SIP: joe.njeru@ekiga.net
