Gaming in Communist Countries 

BTW the Cuban indie game is called ‘Saviourless’ Completely forgot to mention it in the video - my bad

Half of the divergance is sanctions slowing adoption of gaming and the other half is people taking ages arguing on changing laws that hinder gaming once it gets past the sanctions

Although Yugoslavia was socialist and not on good terms with the rest of the eastern block i will still share this story. I live in Slovenia, and because we are next to Italy and Austria a lot of things from the west came through and into the country. My father got a copy of doom and said he played it so much he had to stop because it was effecting his grades collage. Many other games came to Yugoslavia and most were played on either imported computers or pc manufactured in croatia, Serbian and slovenia. They say one of these computers were so good Americans coming here were shocked by how similar in power it was to a macintosh, but that could be just propaganda. sorry for the horrible english, loved the video and highly underrated channel

Last time I was this early the USSR was still a thing

A little fun Fact: One of the reason of isolation in communist country was because of Stalin, He was pretty conservative, nationalist and protectionist and fear foreign influence. Communist has expend the most during his era so that can explain a lots about all the mentality of their system. In North Korea they have a clone of the NES and no many games, but they have Street Fighter 2 and a lots of RPG inspire by Asian Folk (mainly Korean folk)

Really cool video, I appreciate a lot you giving the pure information available and not going for the cheap anti-communist stuff people usually say in this kind of video, very informative and straight to the point

This video deserves more views it was really good

Really cool video, It definitely deserves to blow up. Your editing and script is really high quality

I love how you pronounce "Vietnam" like a 60 year old American.

I've never thought about how games are developed in communist countries until black myth wukong, this was very informative

Imagine if Video Games took off in Communist countries and the Western ones were behind. God... Imagine Communist Touhou.

Great video! Have never thought about this!

Great video comrade, keep up and you can leave country.

thank you ginzie gaming

I am extremely thankful that even if I am born in a shitty country, I get to enjoy the amount of freedom that some parts of the world cannot.

Gaming in the Stalin Years

Your editing on this is next level

How does this not have a couple thounsd views?

you should credit some of the footage you used in this, i think any interested in this would be super interested in that cloth map video you used in the Cuba section.

Lmao you didn’t even mention the name of the Cuban game

in Russia we have piracy :D

So what's the name of that Cuban game?

Way to drop the ball with North Korea.

Imagine how gaming would be if capitalism didnt destroy art with greed.

using the phrase communist a bit loosely

cool video awesome ❤
