Germany lifts Doom ban after 17 years


A Gereman ban on selling Doom to teenagers. This ban has been lifted after 17 years.
The classic video game was put on an index of controlled titles in 1994 as it was deemed likely to harm youth.
Like pornography, sales of the violent shoot 'em up were ban to adult-only stores.
The rules have been relaxed because officials because that Doom is now only of artistic and scientific interest and will not appeal to youngsters.
But one version of the game still on the index because it features Nazi symbols on some levels.
