Games that try to simulate real-world activities (like driving vehicles or living the life of someone else) with as much realism as possible. Simulators generally require more study and orientation than arcade games, and the best simulators are also educational.
Simple, fast-paced games with colorful graphics and catchy audio, that require few or no explanations, can be played in short bursts, and usually require a lot of skill. Similar in style and spirit with the arcade game cabinets of the 80s and 90s.
Focused on imparting a skill, lesson, or piece of information to its player that would be helpful to them in other aspects of life, such as a faster typing ability or knowledge about a period in history.
