I can't decide which words would be the best to create 'video game'

All the words for 'video' that I've found, don't seem to point to the actual video, more to tapes and such.

Videoludo ?

People seem to call them videoludoj or video-ludoj.

Sometimes it's worthwhile to take a guess as to what it might be called, Google that term, and see if people seem to be calling it that!

Wow, it was that simple!

Thank you!

In Vikipedio you can find various words for video game.

Might want to translate that into English, Nornen. This is the English forum.

I always thought 'video game' didn't really make much sense; it's neither video in the sense video is used for modern purposes nor any more visual than any other 'game'. It's called a computer game in England, which seems to me more accurate.

That's true, but I've grown up and gotten used to video game and computer game being different, but now that I play games on my computer, I've just stuck with video game or simply game.

So which do you think would fit Esperanto?

I suppose the language ought to be flexible enough to accommodate all possible expressions; that's how it's supposed to be anyway.

Alright thank you, sorry for my ignorance, I'm new to all of this.
