Video game

A video game is a typically user controlled, interactive software that generates visual feedback on a monitor based on a user's input. Video games can appear in many different platforms including console video games, computer video games, arcade video games, and hand held devices including hand held gaming systems, PDAs, and cellular phones. Video games are typically manipulated via an input device. This input device varies from platform to platform but may include a joystick, a mouse, a keyboard, pedals, a phone number pad, or a console specific controller.
