    A German ban on selling Doom to teenagers has been lifted after 17 years.
    The classic video game was put on an index of controlled titles in 1994 as it was deemed likely to harm youth.
    Like pornography, sales of the violent shoot 'em up were restricted to adult-only stores.
    The rules have been relaxed because officials believe that Doom is now only of artistic and scientific interest and will not appeal to youngsters.
