Nuclear Free Australia

No Fallout 3 for Australia!

http://www.gamershell.com/news_54310.html
It seems that Fallout 3 has been tagged as Refused Classification by the Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification board. [...] Apparently, the game features the use of Morphine as a stimulant and this is allowed only in case of 18+ titles. The problem is that games in Australia can only be classified 15+ and this rating does not allow such features.
Current PCs:
NWN1: Soppi Widenbottle, High Priestess of Yondalla.
NWN2: Gruuhilda, Tree Hugging Half-Orc

It's still just a rumor, not official, but Fallout would violate every single piece of their standards so it will probably be banned. Which is good for us, if it's not banned in at least one country they did it wrong.

:camper: Is there anyone in Australia who buys their games in Australia? I thought most games appeared on the mac even before appearing down under...
