I am looking for content about gaming in countries aside from my own (the US).. especially smaller countries. I love to check out funny pirate stuff too, and see the game stores and products sold in these places, especially retro stuff. Could anyone who has, or can take, photos, video, or provide info about gaming in these countries please reply or PM me? :D

I already have some photos from Japan, but of course I could always use more. :) Photos from China would be really cool, too. Pirate Capitol of the World. ;)

I intend to add the content to my 8-32 bit retrogaming site, Epic Gaming. No URL right now as I am moving to a new server, but there will be one soon. Gracias :D

Check out this site: http://www.tripoint.org/kevtris/

Click on NES, there are a lot of pictures of pirated stuff there.

Not much material about Holland, isn't interesting either.

However there's a good chance I'm going to Poland this summer, I hope I can find something.

Gaming in Australia 'eh?

It's just like gaming in the US - except halve the amount of game and console releases and double the rarity of everything.

People made some funny things here in Brazil. RF Ataris, RF Master Systems, weird NES clones...

Unfortunately I don't have details about these products.

I don't know if it got anything to do(I guess not) with austria but there's a weird NES/famicom-clone named "First Austria".

off-topic:
damn...I can't find a pic(of the clone) right know but I found out that "First Austria" is a pretty large electronic-manufacture (car-hifi,babyphones,microwaves,...)!
