So I got a request to make I have to carefully put into legally correct terms. A while ago I just got Doom on GOG and actually really enjoyed it despite having the same old problems here and there I did have 22 years ago that the . Getting constantly lost, walking in circles yadayadayada. Now I´m kind of in the mood to play the original Wolfenstein 3D and now I have a “wickl” as they say in austria. It´s still banned in germany, thus I cannot even see it on GOG. I remember @Nor_Treblig giving a solution to that which is also the way he helped me with Harvester. So I´d really be glad if I could get some help with this. Though I have no idea what I could offer in return, so feel free to ignore this in that case. _Edit: Got it now. Thanks!_ ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > They practically don´t officially exist in germany. Nope. There was a German version for Return to castle Wolfenstein. That is only “indiziert”, so you could (and still) get it as an adult - if you find a dealer. 🙂 The English version of Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein 3D are using symbols that are forbidden in Germany. That is the reason why at least Wolfenstein 3D is forbidden in Germany (“Beschlagnahmt”). It’s even illegal to own it. I don’t know the state of the English version of RtCW. ---

> [@Someone](#): > > Nope. There was a German version for Return to castle Wolfenstein. That is only “indiziert”, so you could (and still) get it as an adult - if you find a dealer. Yeah the last two are also avialable but with all symbols replaced. New Colossus even removed Hitler´s Moustache. > [@Someone](#): > > It’s even illegal to own it. I´m not sure about that. But I haven´t checked about this particular case. But I´m sure in the case of §131 (the violence one) that I´m allowed to keep my Dawn Of The Dead Blu Ray from austria. I just may not give it away or tell anybody where I got it from. ---

> [@milanfahrnholz](#): > > I´m not sure about that. Yes, it’s not a quite simple situation. And AFAIR we haven’t any court decisions about such cases. A few years ago Toys’R’us sold incidentally Wolfenstein 3D in a games collection. The company had to destroy the packages and to recall/claim back the sold copies. The latter one wouldn’t be necessary in the case of a “Indizierung”. I would guess that the police/law will handle Wolfenstein 3D similar to other “real” objects with these symbols. btw: Violence is handled in a different way. 🙂 ---

There are really lots of releases for old computers nowadays. I don’t know why, but they do it. This dude recently made a game for C-64, but IIRC he was also thinking of Commodore 16 or something equally obscure. It’s crazy but he sold bunch of copies. ---

I had mentioned Planet X3 in the [DOS gaming topic](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/lets-play-dos-games/2783/39?u=kaiman) before. 🙂 As for an update to what I’m playing: - After about 50 hours, I put **Kingdom Come: Deliverance** on hold for now. There’s interesting DLC coming up, and I’d rather wait for that before completing the game. - I played **RiME** , after getting it for free during the GOG sale. Not too long or difficult, and even somewhat surprising 🙂. Can recommend if you like exploration with some simple puzzles. Runs on Linux using wine. - I played **Gorogoa**. Liked that very, very much! A bit of a shame that the actual artwork is so tiny, because it is so rich and detailed and fascinating. Runs perfectly under wine. - I started **Pillars of the Earth** , but it’s not really my cup of tea. Despite there being hardly any puzzles, I managed to get stuck in chapter 3 of book 1, and have not yet mustered the energy to figure out how to progress. - Took a peek at **Melancholy Republic** , a game I had backed on Kickstarter that is somewhat similar to To the Moon. Apparently it’s a somewhat sombre experience, and I am not currently in the mood for drama, so I’ll put it aside for now. - I started **Pillars of Eternity II**. Fairly good, but likely waiting for the next couple patches before diving into it for real. - Just yesterday I bought **Forgotton Anne**. Had some freezes with vanilla wine, so today I tried with wine + [DXVK](https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk) and that was better. Stopped playing after about 5 minutes when a message popped up that said (roughly translated) “this could have played out differently”. I totally love the art style, and the gameplay seemed alright as well, but why does it have to blatantly disrupt the narrative flow like that!? By and large, there aren’t any truly captivating games around right now. The only one I am really looking forward to is **Heaven’s Vault** , even more so after reading [this article](https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-06-21-inkle-starts-a-bold-new-chapter-with-heavens-vault). ---
