The difference between classic console games and classic PC games is equally as vast as the difference between arcade machines and classic consoles.
Game consoles and personal computers were developed for personal use and both have similar input / output methods.

ARCADE is intended for public audiences and is marketed quite differently, ARCADE means Pinball Machines, Basket Ball Sims, Soccer Sims, Car Sims, DDR .... and even those machines like "whack-a-mole".

For this and many more reasons, ARCADE really deserves a category on its own.
