Release id #88112 : Heil Hitler
This release kicks off a needed discussion about introducing any 'sensitive' (in many meanings of that word) material to this database.
Once again, there should be some rules about such things. Example - besides the above release - is stuff that is offensive to some sceners, done by other sceners in bad taste and certainly not good intentions... I also have some things like this in my collection, but uptil now decided not to share it.
Can we maybe appoint some general approach to this?? |

There are online database that have a lot of information and don't hold downloads (Gamebase64 is an example).
Nice, but websites like CSDb have more value. |

I have a problem with "getting away from the real word".
Sorry!, when i entered the scene, it was about keeping the scene spirit alive,
*not* getting away from the real world, that frightens me, it was the exact opposite.
Contemplate on this. |

Quote: Why? Someone posing as a WWE member send me a disk late '89, i liked the original intro.
But this one had swastica's and even more after pressing the spacebar.
I decided not to spread it, end of discussion.
I think back then they were still called WWF. Don't remember them having a nazi wrestler though. |

Well, it had that world wide expressive logo.
Let's leave it at that, it wasn't the WWE i knew, i liked Maps gfx back in 88, not to mention the rest.
I didn't figure WWE wouldn't have had a nazi-wrestler at all, that was the point. |

I hate it when people don't get my lame jokes :(
On a more serious note: it could have very well been a real WWE member, we had some shady Germans* in our group back then. Don't recall the demo you mentioned though, never even heard about it until now.
* shady Dutch & Swedes too. |

So you hate it when people don't get your lame jokes.
I'm not in the mood for humour right now, if you don't mind.
Not to mention: your reply sounds "shady", indeed, it ruins my sense of humour.
Let's get serious then: it wasn't a demo but a nazi-game, does this make sense to you?.
Well, it didn't make sense to me at that time, but it happend.
So much for lame jokes, goodluck "getting away from the real word" i'd say. |

Who says anything about getting away from the real world? I don't mind that you take things here way too seriously, but don't pretend to know me, okay?
And just in case you don't get it: I don't condone those actions by that guy, I just said it was possible he could actually have been a WWE member. We had some rotten apples in our crew back then, that's all. |

Actually, lots of C64 stuff is still on the German index:
Games like Beach Head, Raid over Moscow, Green Beret, Desert Fox, Friday the 13th and tons of others (eventhough most will surely get scratched at the 25-year re-evaluation as it has happened with Speed Racer).
Also demos and graphics collections - Swedish Erotica (banned for pornography since May 1987), Pure Byte's Sex Cartoons, racist stuff like Anti T. Test... it's a long list.
CSDb could easily be put on that list ten times over for distributing banned material with the stuff we have here right now, but I'm pretty sure they have different priorities, i.e. they don't give a fuck about 8-bit stuff. :) |

Yes please, delete it! And while we're at it, go on and remove all the releases which propagate communism, several Wrath releases come to my mind. Up to my knowledge, the red star and the hammer&sickle are also forbidden symbols in several countries. I demand from you to be offended by the ~100.000.000 death toll of communist regimes!
*sigh*
My close relatives who were killed by communists are laying in mass graves, still you don't see my crying in vain to take down Courtesy of Soviet, do you?
So as long as I don't see you getting up for take down those releases, shut the fuck up and continue with whatever you were doing before this discussion.
Gotta adore double standards.
P.S. by the way, wasn't this Ogami guy also painting Lenin and/or commie related stuff later on? Or I'm mistaking him with someone? |
