Changed the (probably German) 'verboten' to (English) 'forbidden'.

CC #19929 which was rejected but used "prohibited" instead.

Thanks for the reference @gankro. I have read the comments there.

  1. Having never been into gaming, I had to lookup what Wolfenstein 3D was.
  2. I agree with @cllns that it could distract the reader.

This is part of the tone/style thing, I'm not particularly interested in changing it. Thanks though!

I'm not arguing for either side, but just to give you a data point, I had to look up verboten.

I didn't see verboten before.
