Edited sentence: Computer and video games are a subset of interactive media, which includes virtual reality, flight and engineering simulation, multimedia and the World Wide Web.For many, either "computer game" or "video game" describes these games as a whole.Gamers are quite happy to use the vague term "games", or "videogame/video game" to distinguish them from board games and card games when necessary.In the past, it was common for parents and/or elderly people, who were unfamiliar with video games, to refer to all of them as "Nintendo games" due to Nintendo's overwhelming popularity in the late 80s and 90s (this is an example of a genericized trademark).Non-gamers use several umbrella terms for console, PC, arcade, handheld, and similar games since they do not agree on the best name.Other commonly used terms include "entertainment software," "interactive entertainment media," "electronic interactive entertainment," "electronic game," "software game," and "videogame" (as one word)
