This article is incorrect - this is not North Korea's first video game, they have been producing video games for quite a while, there are a number of companies which even outsource production there. From an article in 2010 (<a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/198555/the_worlds_most_unusual_outsourcing_destination.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcworld.com/article/198555/the_worlds_most_unusua...</a>) :<p>The outsourcer with the highest profile is probably Nosotek. The company, established in 2007, is also one of the few Western IT ventures in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital.<p>Nosotek's main work revolves around development of Flash games and games for mobile phones. It's had some success and claims that one iPhone title made the Apple Store Germany's top 10 for at least a week, though it wouldn't say which one.<p>Several Nosotek-developed games are distributed by Germany's Exozet Games, including one block-based game called "Bobby's Blocks."
Nope. North Koreans made "The Big Lebowski Bowling" back in 2007: <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-06/kim-jong-il-bowls-for-murdoch-dollars-with-video-games-made-in-north-korea.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-09-06/kim-jong-il-bowls-f...</a>
Last summer I had the pleasure of visiting North Korea (with Koryo Tours). I think it's worth noting that the company is not North Korean -- it's based in Beijing and run by British expats.
Oops -- looks like the bourgeous running dogs of HN have just DOS'd the North Korean video game industry. Here's hoping Kim Jong Un doesn't consider this a declaration of war and transform the Web into a sea of fire...
Wonder whether the game has somesecret subliminal message in the executable? Something like the Trolls game for PC

The instructions read "don't hit other cars or vans!" but I think I counted around only 6 of them in the entire city.<p>Is it because it's on DEMO MODE?
