What was retro gaming like in the Middle East?
Every so often there are "retro gaming in Latin America" thread, and they are very interesting. What about the Middle East? Do we have any Anons from there on this board? I know we do on the larger boards.

We liked Wizardry in Pakistan.
No clue, but I remember a semi-famous story about a Gameboy surviving a bomb attack and still working.
The SEGA logo in Arabic, used in the late 80s-early 90s in Saudi Arabia:
I found a retro gaming site not long ago that's based in Israel. I was honestly surprised that such a community existed there, but I guess just about every country in the world has had some exposure to video games at this point.

Technology can be SURPRISINGLY durable. Like I hit a naked hard drive on a cement floor directly, dead on, with a hammer.
I didn't put a dent in it. Not until like 5 tries.
To think I was ever worried about breaking those green chips accidentally. Shit can be tough.

I'm pretty sure they did replace the screen on that one, but I can see the innards surviving a bomb attack with that thick of a shell.
