An electronic game is a game that uses electronics to create an interactive system with which a player can play. Video games are the most common form today, and for this reason the two terms are often used interchangeably. There are other common forms of electronic games, including handheld electronic games, standalone arcade game systems (e.g. electro-mechanical games, pinball, slot machines), and exclusively non-visual products (e.g. audio games).
