Out of interest, how many different countries have people played arcade games in?

I've played them in:

New Zealand - where I grew up and currently live
Tonga
Fiji
US of A
Canada
UK
Sweden
France
Germany
Switzerland
Austria
Denmark
Norway
Greece
Italy

and probably another couple of countries that escape my recall for now.

Of course, if finances and timing ever meet I'd love to get to one of the Funspot Tournaments sometime..... I'll just have to find a way to need to take a business trip to the US at just the right time....

Wow, that's a lot, though I find it curious that Australia isn't on your list.

Echh, who'd want to go to Australia?

Strange as it may seem, while I've visited a large number of countries, and played lots of arcade games there, I've never yet made it to the shores of my nearest neighbour.

We are hoping to take our kids to Aussie next year before they get too old to want to go anywhere with Mum & Dad. We plan to do a big Theme Park visit while we're there. Of course if money was no object I'd love to get to the rides at Cedar Point. They look awsome: http://www.cedarpoint.com/

Ireland
England
Wales
Isle of Man

And technically (grr)...'Northern Ireland'

The main reason for this posting was to point out to our no longer allowed vocal newbie that the norm for joysticks was not what he expected in all the various places I've played arcade games... but I guess that is kind of pointless now since he has been banned from the boards.
