    N. Korean arcade: suddenly your local bootleg SFIV cabinet doesn't look so bad

    Wednesday, October 1, 2008, 07:24 PM [General]

     

    Yeah, so your local arcade bought a pair of overpriced Street Fighter IV boards from some dodgy Singaporean website and then stuffed them inside a shoebox with Pong controllers attached to a 1960 Philco Predicta. You're all "Harrumph! We're being shafted by this shoddy, non-HD cabinet!" Turn that frown upside down, chuckles, 'cause at least your sticky-floored arcade doesn't reside in North Korea. Check out this link to see how they game inside the Axis of Evil.

    Is that even called an arcade cabinet? Looks like it's gonna explode anytime.

    I love retro games as much as the next guy, but that is just plain ridiculous. I guess when you do some traveling to other countries besides your own, it makes you feel pretty damn lucky to live in the States.

    Anyway, that was a great link. It definitely opened my eyes for awhile.

    P.S. - They actually sell cameras and have internet that people can use in North Korea?
