wrong... at least for return to wolfenstein castle it is illegal to
even posess the american version in germany. you go directly to jail
(don't pass go and don't recieve $2,000 hehe)

for the others: afaik it is legal to have them just not to sell them
to minors and to advertise them (cause minors could see that)

but quake for example was completely banned (as RTWC) but for the
content of satanistic symbols...

it's plain stupid. why is the majority of players not allowed to play
those games cause a minority can't deal with them
