Political computer game released in North Korea

A COMPUTER GAME which addresses the nuclear standoff with South Korea has been released in North Korea for the first time.

'Sting' was made in South Korea and tells the story of how North Korean leader Kim Jong Il goes missing after a coup.

According to the International Herald Tribune, the North has confirmed that "Sting" is in production and will go on sale in the country sometime in the first half of this year. The game's goal is to find the missing Kim and prevent nuclear proliferation.

While other foreign-produced games have dealt with the North Korean standoff, they have been restricted for import to South Korea.
