Yep games have been banned in greece, all computers games, and u can get a year inprisonment for it

But they are appealing, so i cant really see this law standing

Not just computer games, any video games at all. Including handhelds like Game Boy...so if you're traveling to Greece you'd better not bring your GBA with you on the trip

I can't believe that they're going to imprison foreigners for making an honest mistake!

A Greek judge spoke three persons free for playing chese in an internetcaf�. Now this retarded law will not stand for long.

Wow, that was a waste of a lot of people's time seeing as the legislatures just repealed it anyways.

Another example of your tax dollars hard at work.

Yep.. All forms of electronic gaming (bye bye breakout on cell). I don't see a law like that standing for long anytime soon anways.
