First game from North Korea: could you reach it?

LTUGamer · Dec 21, 2012

I have recently read about the first game from North Korea: http://hexus.net/business/news/internet/49653-north-koreas-first-video-game-now-playable-online/

So could you reach this website where is ability to play it? Link: http://www.koryogroup.com/Pyongyang_racer/racer.html

Unfortunatly I can't to reach it and it looks that nobody could do in Lithuania. So how could I to reach this game? Browiser says that it takes too much time to reach it. Proxy servers couldn't help me too :shadedshu

Wow...

I can't access it either

Guitar · Dec 21, 2012

Not sure why I'd want to reach it?

What, it's about racing, not covert WMD production and testing? LOL

Wonder if it's a plot to spread viruses into PCs of capitalist countries.

North korea's internet is blocked in as far as I know. There is this special north korean only linux distribution you can download. It can only access north korean websites though, but that is what you want.

Its call red star OS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS
"Red Star OS is the Linux distribution of choice in North Korea. The project began in 2002 in a bid to replace the country’s dependence on Microsoft Windows, which was the primary OS of choice in the country up until then.
The OS only comes in Korean and features a modified version of Mozilla Firefox called Naenara. This web browser connects to the country’s intranet known as Kwangmyong, a walled-garden approach which has no bridge to the standard Internet we know and love."

Not at all.
.aero, .biz, .com, .coop, .info, .mobi, .name, .net, .org, .pro, .tel, .travel and .xxx are all generic websites.

Canadian websites are .ca and .qc.com.
US websites are .us, .us.com and .us.org.
Mexican websites are .mx.

You see how it goes? There's always the name of the country and when it uses a generic extension it adds the name of the country (.us.com) or of a province (.qc.com) or of a state.

Half the country doesn't even have power. I'm surprised they even have a video game.

EiSFX · Dec 22, 2012

Yep not even going to try. Not going to support North Korea in any form. That is really the only country i'm kinda scared of.

And really how can you think .com and .net are only american? LMAO as m&m already stated thoes are generic domains and are used in every country.

+1 ,

Although,,Would You REALLY want to play a North Korean "Government" controlled Video-Game?
It would inevitably involve "the Glorious Motherland" and it's , "Slaying of the Capitalist Scourge of the Earth"......
Or some like minded B.S.
Creativity is NOT Guided or Controlled by Government. I'm Glad We aren't connected to it, but Frankly I DO feel for those who have to live like that.
I remember watching a PBS ,or some type of public broadcasting program, on how the "reporters" over there, have to submit their articles to a Censorship committee of Some type, before their Work can be published to the masses.

Korea get the support of my dollar? Not in this lifetime..

Prima.Vera · Dec 28, 2012

Wow, so much hate here. Why do people judge a nation only by their stupid leaders? By the same principle US should have been the most retarded country in the world when Bush junior ruled..

although i agree with your point - no one here has even hinted that NORTH KOREANS are bad in any way , they just say they won't support NORTH KOREA. I really don't see an issue with that.
