LJN did however produce a verified controversial movie game based off of "Platoon".
I always thought that was an unsual movie licence.


Why was Platoon so controversial?

Not because of the game itself, but because of the actual movie it was based from. 'Platoon' was quite controversial for it's time.

Once again, I bring you...
'Sweet Home' (The U.S. version)

And yes, it was very controversial (especially for the infamous "Squeal like a pig" scene).

One interesting change can be found in
Princess Tomato in the Salad Kingdom.

I know a lot of people find out that game a little childish
and silly, but guys - It's a awesome adventure game.
The story of very captivating, do not get fooled by
the simple name and the funny characters. The game rocks...

About the changes --- Spoilers here! Attention...

In the USA version, there is a Coffee Shop at the second level.
In the Japanese version, the same shop is a Tabacco Shop,
selling cigarretes!

In the USA version, there is a Juice Shop.
In Japanese one, the same shop is a wine and alcohol store.

In the USA, you meet the Garlic wanderer at the park, and you
must bring him a Donut, 'cause he is starving. Then, you go
until the end of street and find a cabaret. Inside the cabaret
bathroom you find the donut in the trash. For God's sake!
This is nonsense!

In the Japan version, the Garlic wanderer wants some matches
to light his cigarretes, and inside the cabaret, you find aome
matches at the trash can. Much more plausible, right? And detail:
There is a handwriting message on back of the matches talking
about the Princess kidnapping!!

What a big change between versions, huh?

And I love to meet Sargeant Pepper in his police station
on third level. Any reference to Beatles from the game programmers
maybe?

I remember wandering who on earth had thought it was a good idea to place the donut in a trash can. Now I know the answer; good old censorship! It's interesting that the censors didn't want kids searching for a smokers matches, but had no problem with giving out the message that it is perfectly acceptable behavior it pick food out of a trash can.

The first version was, yes. But the one that was actually distributed: The game was to STOP drug dealers, when in the first idea of the game, it was to BE a drug dealer. :P
