They often post questions about specific senses of words or phrases that they have come across in their reading. A dictionary will not always provide the definitive answer to a certain word or phrase used in a specific context.
Taken literally, and by looking up the words separately, 'arcade game' could be interpreted as 'a sport or pastime played in a covered walkway lined with shops' when we know it to mean a coin-op computer game.
I'm sure our questioner knows exactly what one is, but didn't know that this is how we refer to them in English.
Cut 'em some slack !!
