Well first I would think, What kind of tourist would go to Greece and play video games? If I went to Greece I probably would be at the beach or somewhere else and I would try to avoid computers and stuff like that, but personally I think that this law is ridiculous. Its like invading peoples private property. You cant tell people what to do with their cell phones, or their money or lives. Its not like drugs or something similar, video games are sort of like a virtual sport, and some are really good for exercising your mind. That is so ridiculous.

Hmm..I think that's pretty pathetic. What are they trying to gain by that? In my opiniion it wouldn't lessen crime, it would cauase more due to angry(and most likely borde) people. Video games are a way of releaving stress, I believe. In games you can kill kill kill, and get rid of the urge to do it in real life. I think death rates in greece will rise because of bordom. Lol, joking with that one, but it's pretty outragoues to ban games.

hmm i dont think that they still have this law, cuz it is really stupid and 3 years old. Last year i was in greece and everyone had cell phones there, so i dont think that they still use that law. I read somewere that on guy got 5 000$ dollar bill for that he had cell phone and gameboy

Wooow, what a law lol... Is this the future? The governement watching in your home if you dont run... "Computer Games?!" Like they dont have anything better then this to do... Like catching criminals or something (Oh wait the gamers are the criminals lol)

I think that this is a fool law, but you haven't understand it. You can't play games outside your home. You can play with your PC, mobile or console in private, but you can't do this in public. This is make the law more human, i think.

Did Greece banned olympic games too?
They made a name for themselves in the previous few olympic games.
It will be weird if they ban it too...

...HOW CAN YOU BAN VIDEO GAMES!? This is.. unbelievable. Its like taking a part of modern society and locking it up.

Wow.... this is... I feel sorry for the people who live there
