I think it refers to ALL electronic games. Computer game and video game are terms that can pretty much be used interchangebly. Yes OB1, I remember you posting different definitions from some site before, but then I went and read the REST of the definitions, and both of them have the SAME definition under one of the definition headings, thus they are interchangeble terms. I remember the last history of video games show I saw on the history channel covered everything from arcade to console to computer to portable, so I don't see why this one wouldn't. Guys at Discovery wouldn't have such stupid and idiotic biases as we do regarding the frickin' SYSTEM the games are on as to exclude whole systems for whatever reason.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
