Inside a North Korean Arcade

A UK website has posted photos allegedly taken inside North Korea. But these aren’t of nuclear reactors or an ailing Kim Jong-il. They’re of something much more important:

Pyongyang Arcade

I don’t know anything about the games, except they’re apparently ‘vintage’ (meaning really, really old). I’m just struck by how utterly… joyless the place looks. I wonder what the rest of the amusement park looks like…actually, I don’t want to know.

Capitalism has its bad points…but at least our kids can have fun playing video games.

I bet Dear Leader has a Wii.
