Banned: the absurdity of Australia’s game rating regime

December 31st, 1969 | Category: Nintendo News

It’s a brawny signal, but I think Aussies gamers might have the hardest day enjoying their hobby. Games are censored/banned left and right, for all sorts of reasons that just wouldn’t fly in North America. Australians are catching on…they’re starting to realize that their game ratings/regulations suck…bigtime. Now, the mainstream

press is picking up on the issues as well. Why is gaming being treated so harshly, and when are public going to stand up and fight for their right to play games?
