Video game

A video game, colloquially referred to as a holotape game, is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback.

Holotape games
Prior to the Great War, holotape games were a rising medium of entertainment that saw moderate success in public, with holotapes being sold stand-alone or being included in magazines to entice sales. Dedicated companies and divisions of companies were created to develop holotape games in an attempt to get a foothold in this burgeoning market. Holotape games spanned a wide spectrum of genres, including strategic defense, platforms, and text adventures.

Terminals would attempt to keep up with the rapid progression of holotape games, with RobCo Industries developing consumer terminals capable of handling the highest-end graphics.

Holotape games (and in turn holotape game players) are often looked down upon for being childish and generally a complete waste of time with no redeeming social value. However, there are some individuals, human and robot alike, that not only enjoy playing holotape games but also boast about their skills.

Appearances
Video games appear in Fallout, Fallout 4 and Fallout 76.
