Whois & Analysis for arcadespot.com

Puzzle video games are a genre of video games that emphasize puzzle solving.

The types of puzzles can test many problem-solving skills including logic, pattern recognition, sequence solving, and word completion.

The player may have unlimited time or attempts to solve a puzzle, or there may be simple puzzles made difficult by having to complete them in real-time, as in Tetris.

An online game is a video game that is either partially or primarily played through the Internet or another computer network.

Online games are ubiquitous on modern gaming platforms, including PCs, consoles and mobile devices, and span many genres, including first-person shooters, strategy games and massively multiplayer online role-playing games (MMORPG).

The racing video game genre is the genre of video games, either in the first-person or third-person perspective, in which the player partakes in a racing competition with any type of land, water, air or space vehicles.

They may be based on anything from real-world racing leagues to entirely fantastical settings.

In general, they can be distributed along a spectrum anywhere between hardcore simulations, and simpler arcade racing games.

Racing games may also fall under the category of sports games.

A sports game is a video game that simulates the practice of sports.

Most sports have been recreated with a game, including team sports, track and field, extreme sports and combat sports.

Some games emphasize actually playing the sport (such as the Madden NFL series), whilst others emphasize strategy and sport management (such as Championship Manager and Out of the Park Baseball).

Some, such as Need for Speed, Arch Rivals and Punch-Out!!, satirize the sport for comic effect.

This genre has been popular throughout the history of video games and is competitive, just like real-world sports.

A number of game series feature the names and characteristics of real teams and players, and are updated annually to reflect real-world changes.

An arcade game or coin-op is a coin-operated entertainment machine typically installed in public businesses such as restaurants, bars and amusement arcades.

Most arcade games are video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games or merchandisers.

While exact dates are debated, the golden age of arcade video games is usually defined as a period beginning sometime in the late 1970s and ending sometime in the mid-1980s.

Excluding a brief resurgence in the early 1990s, the arcade industry subsequently declined in the Western hemisphere as competing home-based video game consoles such as Playstation and Xbox increased in their graphics and game-play capability and decreased in cost.
