A video game is any kind of system where there's a CRT monitor and you can push buttons or move joysticks/dials/mice to change what it shows

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is only a video game if you dock your Switch and plug it into a CRT TV.

Visicalc for the Apple II is a video game.
