Arcade games are games in which the player has to act quickly, relying primarily on his reflexes and reactions. The gameplay is simple and does not change during the game. Arcades are characterized by a developed system of bonuses: accrual of points, gradually opening elements of the game, etc. The term “arcade” in relation to computer games originated in the days of slot machines, which were installed in shopping malls (arcades). Games on them were easy to learn (to attract more players). Subsequently, these games migrated to game consoles (consoles) and are still the main genre on them.
