    Esports are booming in Africa - but can its infrastructure keep pace?
    Esports teams, leagues and competitions are flourishing, but poor connectivity and rarity of Africa-based servers are hampering expansion.

    Esport events are on the rise in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa, driven in part by increased access to the internet and devices such as smartphones, PCs and consoles. Popular titles include EA Sports FC, Call of Duty and Tekkie.

    Carmen Maria Machado: 'The cultural baggage around gaming has shifted'
    Carmen Maria Machado the award-winning writer and editor of a new collection of essays on gaming tells how her Nintendo got her through the pandemic and what impact video games have on creative life.

    Carmen Maria Machado, 37, is the author of the award-winning short story collection Her Body and Other Parties, the bestselling memoir In the Dream House and the graphic novel The Low, Low Woods. Born into a religious Pennsylvanian household which gave her feelings of guilt around her queer identity, she wasn't allowed by her parents to play computer games. She is now co-editor of Critical Hits: Writers on Gaming and the Alternate Worlds We Inhabit, a collection of essays that celebrates the lasting impact of gaming and play in real and imagined worlds.

    Carmen Maria Machado: 'The cultural baggage around gaming has shifted'
    Carmen Maria Machado the award-winning writer and editor of a new collection of essays on gaming tells how her Nintendo got her through the pandemic and what impact video games have on creative life.

    Carmen Maria Machado, 37, is the author of the award-winning short story collection Her Body and Other Parties, the bestselling memoir In the Dream House and the graphic novel The Low, Low Woods. Born into a religious Pennsylvanian household which gave her feelings of guilt around her queer identity, she wasn't allowed by her parents to play computer games. She is now co-editor of Critical Hits: Writers on Gaming and the Alternate Worlds We Inhabit, a collection of essays that celebrates the lasting impact of gaming and play in real and imagined worlds.

  • 'My friends call me the BlackBerry queen!' Meet the people clinging on to old tech - from faxes to VCRs.

    'My friends call me the BlackBerry queen!' Meet the people clinging on to old tech - from faxes to VCRs.
    You can keep your iPhones, emails and streaming videos. Aren from London, Lisa from St Louis and Billy from Wigan are quite happy with old-fashioned alternatives. And there are plenty more where they came from.

    'When you play on Atari, the focus is completely on the game'
    Neil Thomas, 42, Cotswolds, museum owner.

    I got my Atari VCS games console in 1985 when it was handed down to me by a family member. I loved playing on it as a child. My favourite game was River Raid, where you'd fly a plane down a river, shooting at things. Just over a decade ago, I found the console in the attic and began to use it again. The main attraction is that the game is instantly there on the screen - there's no waiting for downloads, as you do with modern consoles. I also feel the gameplay is really good on the older consoles. Without flashy graphics, the focus is completely on the game itself.

    Over the years, I have begun to collect more old consoles and computers, and in 2017 I even set up a website and YouTube channel for other retro tech enthusiasts.

    'When you play on Atari, the focus is completely on the game'
    Neil Thomas, 42, Cotswolds, museum owner.

    I got my Atari VCS games console in 1985 when it was handed down to me by a family member. I loved playing on it as a child. My favourite game was River Raid, where you'd fly a plane down a river, shooting at things. Just over a decade ago, I found the console in the attic and began to use it again. The main attraction is that the game is instantly there on the screen - there's no waiting for downloads, as you do with modern consoles. I also feel the gameplay is really good on the older consoles. Without flashy graphics, the focus is completely on the game itself.

    Over the years, I have begun to collect more old consoles and computers, and in 2017 I even set up a website and YouTube channel for other retro tech enthusiasts.
