Africa’s gaming industry is booming, driven by cheap mobile phones, improvement in Internet penetration and increasingly ambitious developers.

There are numerous African stories that haven’t been told and the new crop of African developers wants to challenge how Africa, a continent of 54 countries and over 3000 cultures, is portrayed in the gaming industry.

Game companies such as Kuluya Games, based in Lagos Nigeria, develop games where African players are the key focus and show the everyday life of the average African.

As Africa’s middle class grows and gaming perception changes, the future is certainly bright for game developers. The table below shows the biggest video gaming markets in Africa in 2017, ranked by revenue.

Rank Country US$
1 Egypt 192,559,000
2 Nigeria 172,971,000
3 South Africa 118,400,000
4 Algeria 102,281,000
5 Morocco 83,530,000
6 Tunisia 29,480,000
7 Kenya 27,360,000
8 Sudan 18,065,000

Why is South Africa always chasing Nigeria

YOUNGSTUNNA:

Thanks bro, I learned most things from YouTube too. I code with Java, my PC is the challenge.. it's not that really bad, 4gb Ram and 500gb ROM.
but I've so many large softwares on it(Maya,eclipse,cs6 master collection, unity, AutoCAD etc) and these has made it very slow in time of execution.
I need something of 8 or 16 ram and 1TB ROM.

if you have any idea you can always share with me please, it's not easy to do stuff alone.

Which area?
'm thinking of setting up one in abeokuta around Shomorin too but with ps4 but I am still thinking due to the prevalence and popularity of sport betting shops

Concerning OP, I hope we can have a EVO /ESL standard of regular tournaments in Nigeria among the console folk. I dont mind pro-gaming on the side for extra cash.

Sttictly Mortal Kombat !!

calberian:
When I saw "video game", my mind went to the traditional game console, control pad/joystick and monitor setup. I had no idea that mobile phone games' revenues were being discussed.

I miss Mortal Kombat III, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Tekken 2 and Samurai Showdown (yes, I'm all for combat games)

Correct man...

Killer instinct(KI) combo na my guy.. King of fighter(KOF)... Using the Joystick(Arcade) I can hit all the combos using Ken and Ryu ..(SSF2 Turbo)..

calberian:


Yeah, I preferred it to NES so, for me also Sega was the ish initially. Sonic was Uber lit. However, when SNES came to town with so much more cartridges from the Japanese and the American versions. And the converter. It was hard to want to spend precious time with a Sega (ssce and jamb dey ground for me at the time)

Have you seen Sega Genesis III?

frenchwine:

Yes, if you have a problem with that, me and beat me, I'm at work.

Didn't see that coming ..... You win

KI . . . Galford! I feel guilty already

I believe the joystick was made for combat games. The experience on control pad was totally different.

iceboy4752:

Nope. I kinda lost interest.

Unibadan no allow me ni

Yea, you're right.... It is easier to engage joystick + button combination for the combat games.. eg (forward down forward + punch) for shoryuken.

And we are still waiting for PSN to recognize us
