The last couple of years, 3D Realms has had the "honor" of making the cut on a
list of videogames published by the National Institute on Media & the family.
Their annual "Video & Computer Games Report Card" lists (in their words) "a
snapshot of the interactive gaming industry with a focus on issues related to
child welfare".   The 2001 report has put 3D Realms on the map again - this
time around with Max Payne.   Here's what they had to say about Max Payne:

Due to extreme violence and its portrayal, the ability to cause fear,
illegal/harmfull behavior and inappropriate language, as well as some nudity
and sexual content, this game is not recommended for children of any age.

As usual, we're grateful for the free publicity, but again as usual, the
government can't quite get their facts straight.  Nudity?  They playing the
same game we put out?  There isn't any in the game!  Anyway, if you'd like to
see what else they had to say about other games, you can check out their
website,http://www.mediafamily.org/index.shtml or their 2001 report card.
