Les jeux que l'on peut pratiquer sur les micro-ordinateurs sont des nouveautés culturelles essentielles. [...] Ces jeux se divisent en plusieurs catégories : les jeux d'habileté ou d'arcade (par référence aux jeux pratiqués sous les arcades des salles de jeux); les jeux de découverte; les jeux de simulation. [...] Les jeux d'arcade sont des jeux vidéo mis sur ordinateur. [...] Comme tous les jeux d'habileté, les jeux d'arcade développent l'aptitude à la concentration. 4, record 2, French, - jeu%20d%27arcade
