Greece bans video games
« on: September 03, 2002, 11:14:24 AM »
That's right.  If you're going to Greece any time soon, be sure you leave that GBA at home.

In an attempt to stop "illegal gambling", the government of Greece has passed a law that simply makes all video games illegal.


Naturally, Greek gamers are organizing protests and such to repeal the law, but in the mean time, travelers should be warned that bringing video games into the country may result in fines.


It's even illegal to play a game of chess over the Internet (of course, you can play chess using a board and actual pieces).
