What does it mean by Arcade game style?

hey

I'm a bit confused when it says you have to make an Arcade game styled game for the competition?
Can someone please elaborate please?

Sorry, I'm on leave in Italy at the moment... thought I should have a quick look at this :)

Arcade games are the ones you can play in an arcade :). Think TimeZone or Galactic Circus (in Melbourne)...

Space Invaders, Frogger, Blockout, Street Fighter, 1942, Golden Axe etc. These are all arcade. (Google them for ideas)

What isn't arcade? RTS games, FPS, etc. Anything that needs more than a few buttons to play isn't really arcade style.

Hope that helps.
Cheers,
