SEMARANG, Central Java: The city police have seized "Nintendo" video game cassettes containing video images of the hammer and sickle symbol of communism.

Chief of City Police Col. Adang Rismanto said last week the video game cassettes, sold at Rp 54,000 (US$24.3) each, were seized at several game rental stores in Simpang Lima Plaza and Citra Land Semarang.

He said that it was difficult to find the hammer-and-sickle symbol in the video games as they only appeared in the 20th frame of the 1,200-frame video games.

He said he that the cassettes were sold not only in Semarang, but also in other major cities in Central Java.

"The Semarang city police have reported their findings to the Central Java police headquarters," he said. (har/imn)
