This discussion has been going on in FIDO here for the last couple of weeks.

Lets get one thing straight. WOLFENSTEIN IS NOT (YET) BANNED! It isn't on the
list. One of the FIDO sysops rang the ministry involved and they told him that
they don't ban stuff just because it has the same name as something already
on the lists (C64 Wolfenstein) and that somebody has to formally request that
it be banned. Nobody has yet done this and even when someone does (there're
enough people who want to spoil other peoples fun - even though they say
they don't care what others do in private. Hummpf) it will taken months to
be processed (for once the German bureaucracy has a good side).

I think the game is great. I've already ordered all 6 parts and have played
the game (Level 1-10) on "Death Incarnate" twice (and tonight again :-)))).
