Explanation: Arcade, no meu entender, é aquela parte dos shoppings nos EUA em que há jogos eletrônicos, que no Brazil chamamos (ainda chamamos?!!!) de fliperama.
An arcade game is a coin-operated entertainment machine, typically installed in businesses such as restaurants, pubs, and video arcades. Most arcade games are video games or pinball machines.

Mas pelo jeito, também pode ser outra coisa. Você terá que ver o contexto:
arcade game
1) A coin-operated entertainment machine, usually found in arcades, bars, hotels and other business establishments. Arcade games are video games or pinball machines.
(2) A type of game genre that is a fast-paced action game (for PC or console), requiring hand-eye coordination skill to play. Pinball games for the PC would be considered an arcade game. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/arcade_game.html
Explanation: É um termo abrangente, mas que se aplica perfeitamente a jogos do género, de "plataforma". Isto vindo de uma utilizadora feroz destes "arcade games" nos tempos da sua adolescência. :)
