Official North Korean flash games

While written in Korean, most of these games are very playable, some dripping with propaganda. These are from the state-run “Uriminzokkiri” news website. The pages do not load properly in Chrome, but you can dive into the HTML source to get the direct links to the games. I’ve done that for you below. They seem to load fine in Firefox.

Catching Thieves – This puzzle game involves pushing gems over holes in the ground where Japanese and American heads pop out of.

Map of Korea Meeting – How’s your Korean geography? The shape of a province is shown, you must select from a list of 5 possible names and then locate it on the map.

Catching the enemy – Fire arrows, throw maces, throw swords. Doesn’t really matter which you pick. Click on the invaders before they throw stuff at you.

Taekwondo national pride – Funny little Taek-won-do fighting game. Use the arrow keys to perform various kicks and punches, A and D on the keyboard to move back and forth.

Ryeolchagil (?) Fit – In North America, we know this title as “Pipe Dream”. lay down railroad tracks of random direction until you can “unify” the train with the tunnel on the other side. Score more points for a “clean” design. Gets harder and you’re on a time limit. Fun!

“Spot the difference” (1) (2) (3) – You’re on a time limit and only get a few tries. Can you spot the differences in the side-by-side editorial cartoons?
