Both "Raster" and "Vector" displays are "VIDEO" displays. Games are played on these displays. Therefore, games using these technologies are "video games."
Some "auteur" might want to define his vector-based game as a "vector" game, but it's still a "video game" by my definition.
Most of these "LED" games are history anyways, so it's up to "us" true enthusiasts to preserve the definition for the future. If a flexible display (LCD, LED, raster, vector, or otherwise) is used, it's a "VIDEO game" in my book. If it's a game that uses a few light bulbs ("Simon") or a fixed LED/LCD display, it's an "electronic" game.
If the "electronic" viewing apparatus can be used for more than the game using it (even if said game is using it exclusively for one game), it's a "VIDEO" game. That's the "Rowdy Rob" definition. I'm curious if any of you guys can dispute this, or if you can find an exception to that rule.
I'm all for sticking with the term "video games." It's up to "us" to define it, not some "outsiders."
