People are idiots in general and fail to understand LSL. PC Gamer used to review Larry games reasonably favorable because they "got" what the games stood for until John Walker took over, giving them very very low scores each time he reviewed them - but then again, he's an idiot as well, just calling the game sexist and crude and failing to see the real story underneath.

But LSL is much more than that, and if mister Walker actually listened to Al Lowe, he might have discovered this much sooner instead of all his white knighting. Every time Larry wanted to have just sex, he got punished - tons of deaths in the early 3 games were caused by the player wanting cheap "action". The way to win the game, was to actually find a girl Larry wanted to romance. So in the end, sex punished, romance won the game. It was actually a tale of teaching people that being a dick and only thinking about sex would get you nowhere.

And sure, the games have a lot of puerile jokes but these were part of the act. Nothing in those games was to be taken seriously and the women were actually portrayed much better than the men ever were. The game constantly mocked Larry for the loser he was - so how is this game insulting towards women? Most of my female friends who played it, love it.

Badges? ;-p

Biing! 1 and 2 would not be made today, even today people deride those games for having naked pictures and sex, although they are among the best business sims ever made.

Anything involving sex, nudity and gender discrimination.

You can't even get a historical medieval simulation, where women were socially lower than man. That's so utterly ridiculous in my opinion.
Oh by the way, couldn't you just run around naked in TES: Daggerfall? A pity I never played it but people told me that it was possible.

Ah yes, have some fully uncensored nudity screenshot from the game:

You can run around naked in UnEpic. That adds NOTHING to the thread but I feel it's my duty to keep the masses informed of these things. :P

I remember reading that even at the time Blazing Saddles was somewhat controversial. While I grant you the controversy today may have been bigger, in Tropic Thunder you had Robert Downey Jr. in black-face and most people got it for the satire it was - as a dig against method acting gone completely ape-shit. (EDIT: And isn't Blazing Saddles going to be remade as a broadway musical? EDIT of EDIT: Ninja'd by wodmarach below)

As for games, I think the classic example often given is that in the original Fallout you can kill children, whereas in newer versions you cannot. Obviously that is only a piece of those games, but I think they fit.
Ah ninja'd on Fallout

Well said!

These games you WILL NOT find on western shelves

Games like Rapelay!

and Night Trap!

Which is why it's going onto broadway as a musical...

Were there any games that featured blowing up the twin towers? You'd probably have struggled to get Rampage remade in the early 2000s, probably been long enough now though...

Raid Over Moscow and a bunch of other cold war games wouldn't be made because of the changed political situation, although you could do a proper, historical, period piece, I suppose...

Duke Nukem even though it finally was but was probably a mistake due to uberdelays!

*Edit*
LOL well this game would never have this front cover now:

(Jimmy 'Jim'll Fix it' Saville turned out to be a huge pedo) Hang on, wait, Blazing Saddles? Quentin Tarrantino did a gritty re-boot of it just last year, didn't he? :-D
