I just got back from a tour of a few countries in Europe
and was puzzled that I didn't see any game stores. I did
see a few games at a grocery store in Austria but other
than that not much more. I did however see many internet
cafes which leads me to wonder if many people own a
computer or desire to own a computer. We were in Venice
for a few days then drove to a town outside of Firenze and
got lost all over Tuscany and ended up in Siene. It's a
very beautiful country and the people are very friendly.
I did see a few arcade games here and ther but PC software
wasn't available. We flew into Munich which was quite
pleasant. I can understand there not being games there.
Who wants to play games when you can stroll the beach by
the river and gawk at the nudity and thumb wrestle with
retired yoddlers in the haufbrau haus and who would miss
the englich beer garten. London however needs games. we
stayed in bayswater and traveled the circle and strolled
through London. Too busy too much culture and too hot.
London and Westminster need games to escape the environment. I got suffered from the heat from sitting
in the top of one of those busses and we had to cruise back
to the hotel. I don't recommend the Hotel britania in
Bayswater. No AC and at 3am when we got up to go to the
airport I happend to turn on the TV to channel 3 and saw
one of the guests on what was obviously a hidden camera.
I mentioned it to the clerk when we checked out and he only
grunted and took my credit card. I also puzzled to see
very few laptops in airports and in cafes like you do in
the US. I loved the countries I visited. It shattered all
my preconceptions and misconceptions. Venice was a game in
itself. I want to go back some day. Maybe I'll see the
european game scene then.
