Since the first Microcomputers, Arcade Games and gaming have always been linked
in some fashion to the world of BBSs. It would make sense that if people used
computers to play, they'd be attracted to machines who were dedicated to nothing
but playing games.
The parallel lines of arcade games and home-based "console" systems didn't meet
with complete full-on force until the 1990's (where they're essentially the same
thing and considered the same product) and for a long time the nature of the
two cultures were inherently different.
If you're looking for things like card games, sports, or other recreational
activites (except for <A HREF="/sex">sex</A>) I'd suggest looking for them in the
<A HREF="/fun">Fun</A> section.
