Video Game
Video games, also known as computer games, are electronic games that involves interaction with a user interface or input device such as a joystick, controller, keyboard, or motion sensing device to generate visual feedback.

Some computer games do not always depend on a graphics display, for example text adventure games and computer chess can be played through teletype printers.
