Below is a list and summary of video games that have been Refused Classification (banned) within Australia. ==Overview== (詳細はAustralia could only be rated up to MA15+. At the time, the R18+ classification rating could be given to film, but a video game with content deemed fitting for the R18+ rating would be 'Refused Classification' due to an appropriate classification not being available for the medium. In July and August 2011, all Australian state Attorneys-General agreed to instate an R18+ rating for video games, which would be available by the end of 2011. Many games previously refused classification would now fit into the R18+ rating and, if the publisher chose to pay the reclassification fee, would theoretically be able to sell their game in Australia. The date was later changed to allow the rating to be introduced at the beginning of 2013.〔http://www.kotaku.com.au/2012/02/r18-scheduled-to-kick-in-january-2013/#more-490473〕 With the R18+ rating in place, it is expected fewer video games will be refused classification. Games may still be refused classification if deemed to contain material unsuitable for R18+ classification, such as depictions of sexual violence or the promotion of illegal drug use. More specifically, games which may be refused classification include: * Detailed instruction or promotion in matters of crime or violence. * Depiction of rape. * The promotion or provision of instruction in pedophile activity. * Descriptions or depictions of child sexual abuse or any other exploitative or offensive descriptions or depictions involving a person who is, or appears to be, a child under 18 years. * Gratuitous, exploitative or offensive depictions of: * * (i) violence with a very high degree of impact or which are excessively frequent, prolonged or detailed; * * (ii) cruelty or real violence which are very detailed or which have an extremely high impact; * * (iii) sexual violence * Depictions of practices such as bestiality * Gratuitous, exploitative or offensive depictions of: * * (i) activity accompanied by fetishes or practices that are offensive or abhorrent; * * (ii) incest fantasies or other fantasies that are offensive or abhorrent Classification is compulsory, and games refused classification by the A.C.B are banned for sale, hire or public exhibition, carrying a maximum fine of $275,000 and/or 10 years' jail. It is, however, legal to possess R.C games (except in Western Australia and parts of the Northern Territory). Material that is refused classification is put on the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service list of prohibited items. Any copies of such games found at the border will be seized, and the recipient, depending on the number of copies being imported, may receive up to A$110,000 in fines. The list depicted below is of games that are either still banned, or were initially banned but have been edited exclusively for Australia. It should be noted that these games were banned before the introduction of the R18+ category; if some of these games were to be re-rated today, they would likely receive the R18+ rating. The second list is of games that have been eventually released unedited, rating appealed or the worldwide edition later being released uncut and being identical to other countries. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of banned video games in Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
