Are there video games in Africa?

[Discord]

Umm... I don't think the African middle-class is buying games though. I know from experience that the East European lower/middle-class certainly doesn't.

Lol, is this a serious question or what?

I doubt it. *bans*

Well, in my Global Connections class and my American History class, we've only referred to Africa when it comes to slavery and so such thus far, so I'm willing to bet that if I didn't realize Africa had places like the picture shown earlier, I'm willing to bet not many people who took the same classes as me realize it either. Or, maybe I'm just stupid.

Most of Africa looks nothing like it though. You've got a couple of tourist areas, which of course do look very good, a couple of rich families and South Africa; the rest you've heard about.

I'm sure there are at least two, thus making it a yes, there are video games in Africa. Next question!

If you don't mind me asking, why on smurf's name would you want to know? Excuse the expression.

I want to know because I know that there are video game in North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, and I wondered if there are video games in Africa as well.

Of course there are video games in Africa. The whole continent isn't poverty striken, in fact the vast majority isn't. Ever heard of South Africa?

Ehhh... I don't want to insult anybody (maybe just a tiny little bit), but you do know that what you've just said sounds like an extract from a book written for a 6-year-old?

Are there any commercial games being made in Africa would be a much more interesting question though. Doubt it. =/

There are.

Edit: I think this video almost makes it pretty clear that Africa is not uniformly an impoverished tribal backwater.

[blim]

Im sure in some parts but I'd say the majority of the country doesnt. A shame really.

hmmm!

[SuperMillionaire]

Okay there are. I was thinking South Africa, yes, maybe, but what about the rest of the continent?

Thank you very much. Now I would like to know the African video game rating system...

[Nominus Experse]

No. Africa only has AIDS.

Depends on the country and how the imports work. I'd bet half of them just use CERO, PEGI, or ESRB stuff though. Easier than making your own crap up.

*warning, this comment is stupid and insulting*


maybe a game called: "catch the canned food"
with a follow-up: "finding the can-opener: the new adventure"
