There are products that definitely ride the border. For example, if Nim isn't a videogame, are LCD-games videogames? I think most people would still call Game

  > For example, if Nim isn't a videogame, are LCD-games videogames? I didn't consider them video games growing up. It's going to vary from person to person. For example in the 1980s I owned a hand-held electronic interactive game made by Tiger, called John Elway's Quarterback [1]. They try to call it a video game on the back of the packge it was sold in (an "LCD video game"), but back then (~1989) Nintendo games were video games, and that Tiger device was merely an interactive electronic toy game (as far as I was concerned). GameGear was a video game however, as was GameBoy (video game playing devices; the cartridges were the video games, to be specific); I think it's the depth/elaborateness of the game (what it's capable of) and level of interactivity possible that separates them in my view.
