Classic Video Games in SK

In Seoul, there's a place outside of Yongsan Station that sells video games. However, most Koreans are only interested in the latest and greatest, so it's difficult to find anything before the PS2. Also, it was technically illegal to import anything VG related from Japan until 1997. However, Hyundai and Samsung somehow convinced Nintendo and Sega respectively to put their company badge on their consoles and games, making them legal to sell. However, all these efforts were generally a flop, so those Hyundai and Samsung branded games and consoles are very hard to find now. I did manage to find some though, with the help of a Korean friend.



Samsung Saturn Game


Hyundai Super Comboy Game


Here's a random Game Gear (I guess in Japan it's Kid's Gear) game. I never knew they ported Virtua Fighter over!


I also found a Tagamotchi game from Japan buried within some random stuff.
