The Australian Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) effectively banned the sale of the Midway game, which follows the trials and temptations of a narcotics officer, by refusing to classify it under the nation's rating system. A majority of board members ruled the game was "unsuitable for a minor to see or play."

Australia's rating system only provides for approving games that are suitable for uses age 15 or older; critics say that the system should be changed to include a category for games suitable for adults aged 18 or older.

The OFLC also recently banned the latest incarnation of the sexually explicit Leisure Suit Larry game series.
