There are many files on this CD-ROM which contain obscenities, one or two
nude pictures in the graphics patches, a couple of pretty foul sound patches,
and in general, very politically incorrect material. If you are one of those
people who felt that the Lion King was an awful movie because the animals
seemed to resemble stereotypes of ethnic or racial origin, I suggest that
you use considerable prudence (parental guidance?) using this CD-ROM.
Doom is not a politically correct game. It's designed to illustrate a facet
of war. War is not politically correct. My wife and I have not bought any
toy guns for my two year old son. Nevertheless, he uses sticks, duplos, and
his fingers to convey shooting a gun quite effectively with accompanying
sound effects involving lots of spitting. From that observation, I must
conclude that our nature must have some sort of competitive innate drive
for this behaviour. Doom is a fantastically designed shoot-em-up style
game my son has watched me play for many hours. After playing the game, and
for that matter, cowboys and indians and all the other politically incorrect
games when I was a youth, I have no urge to join a state Militia, buy an
assault rifle, or kill any Federal Agents. It's just a game folks.
If you do find a file which really offends you from the shell, use the EDITOR
program also in the 3DCD directory to delete the description and it will no
longer appear available.
