Not-So-Fast but Definitely Furious: Pyongyang Racer Game

Did not see this one coming — the fun folks at Koryo Tours have teamed up with North Korean game developers to make a free flash game for the Internet: Pyongyang Racer.

Okay, it’s not the most exciting flash game ever put on the Internet (maybe for PR2 they can add US soldier zombies to run over). But it is still kind of fun to get a street view of Pyongyang, along with all its iconic buildings and landmarks. And getting admonished by a North Korean traffic policewoman is pretty amusing.

I wonder if the South Korean authorities will allow the game into the country or if they will ban the URL. SK authorities so rarely have a sense of humor about these things.
