No, 电动 (diàn dòng) does not mean "video games." It refers to "electric" or "motorized." The term for "video games" in Chinese is 电子游戏 (diàn zǐ yóu xì)."

Hi, thank you for writing to us again. 打电动/打電動 is a usage popular in Taiwan. We've made changes to the translation to reflect this meaning:
电动 / 電動 [dian4 dong4] , (adj/n) electric, with motor; (Taiwan) video game

"电动" (diàndòng) can be used to describe something that is powered by electricity or a motor. For example, you could say "这辆车是电动的" (zhè liàng chē shì diàndòng de) which means "This car is electric/motor-powered".
