Let me guess...you have not played the FULL REGISTERED version yet, have you? 
Schmuck, the second mission is in the 2nd moon base at the gate of hell, and
the third is in hell itself.  Read the FAQ.

I hate when people speak before they know what they're talking about.

As for the Swastika, it adds to the mood of the game, and I don't think, with
pentagrams, people crucified on walls, and upside-down crosses, that a swastika
will be that big of a deal.  Personally, I think ALL of that shit is
great...it really adds to the intensity of the game....Think about the first
time you were playing...you got yer evil, monotonous music going, some imps
growling in the background, and through a window, you see a man hanging on the
wall, twitching ,blood running down the wall...

I almost shit a brick first time I saw that.  it STILL impresses me.
