The "video" in "video game" traditionally refers to a raster display device.[1] With the popular catch phrase use of the term "video game", the term later came to imply all display types, formats, and platforms.
Historians have also sought to bypass the issue by instead using the more specific "digital games" descriptive.[2] This term leaves out the earlier analog-based computer games.
