peer agreement (net): +1arcade game Explanation: If this is from a list of equipment, then this is sufficiently clear and IMO the most common term, especially since the earlier arcade games (preceding home consoles for the everyman) were of a piece, the housing being designed to suit -- and advertise -- the specific game. Also from Wikipedia: "**An arcade game** is a coin-operated entertainment machine, typically installed in businesses such as restaurants, pubs, video arcades, and Family Entertainment Centers. Most **arcade games** are redemption games, merchandisers, video games or pinball machines." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcade_game |
