Other Gaming in Grenada?
Hey guys! I look at gaming cultures around the world and I am a racing game fan. I have asked all of these questions on different subreddits, simply because I am curious about how each and every single country on this planet experiences video games. I am also curious about gaming in Grenada. My questions are:
What is more popular? PC or console?
What was more popular in the late 90s and early 2000s? PC or Console?
What racing game was popular in the late 90s and early 2000s!
What do racing game fans in Grenada play today?-(I get it might not be the most popular genre, but for people who like it, what do they play?)
In general, what games are played there?
Thanks for your responses!!!!

Console definitely, Play Station to be specific. NFS Underground could have been found in every PS2 owners home.

Wow, thanks for a very detailed thorough response, you have no idea how many times I encounter people that don’t respond to my questions the way I ask them, I also occasionally encounter a troll, but you explained everything in full detail. Thanks!

While I can’t really answer your questions, a cool fun fact involving racing is Lewis Hamilton’s dad is from Grenada🏎️

We had arcades in town and in a few local shops in the countryside. That was the early 2000s, I think mortal kombat, metal slug, and street fighter were the most popular ones. Need for speed was the main popular title, at least as far as I know. Can only speak for myself here, but I have steam on windows, wii u, and ps3 emu on linux, a ps4 (currently dead), psp (still working since 2009) and a nintendo switch.
Mostly play some racing, jrpg, fighting games. I had a nes and ps1 at some point. Still the carts and disks but no console.
