Video gaming is now a rapidly growing market in Africa, and start-ups are springing up across the continent to produce games with African themes.

In Kenya, the video games market was worth over $50m (£38m) in 2016. It's expected to double by 2021.

Weza Interactive, based in Nairobi, is one such developer that is trying to make interactive content for and about Africa.

It has released a free platformer mobile game called Mzito.

In the adventure game, which is available on both iOS and Android, users play a character, who with the help of ancient spirits must save Africa from "ancient corruption" by awaking sleeping lions.

"We wanted to focus on the African theme because we think it's time for Africa," Weza Interactive's chief executive George Ohere told the BBC.

"It's just really about empowering the people, showing them they can be the heroes of Africa."

But in this video I was visiting some local gaming stations and I'm so happy that gaming is developing in Uganda however not so fast but atleast some kids of this generation can play games on PS4 and Xbox one X.
