No surprise here, but a few photos of a game center in North Korea reveal that, yes, they are a bit behind in terms of arcade releases.
But the thing is, I would actually love to play a lot of the games seen in the gallery -- the ones that still work at least -- and I figure a lot of retro game lovers would too.
There's a reason why game centers like Shibuya Kaikan in Tokyo -- with its fifth floor of retro-only cabinets -- continue to attract an avid customer base still looking to play those old games the way they were meant to be played.
This could be an untapped market for the North Korean tourist board to look into.
In the meantime, maybe someone could be kind enough and send them some new boards, as it looks like a lot of the games shown have been played to death.
