This is exactly what EM (electro-mechanical) arcade games were, which were eventually replaced by video games. There were driving games, flight simulators of sorts, bombing missions, shooters, etc. Some of the earlier video games were directly copying/recreating earlier EM games. Video games eventually won, because they were lower maintenance. Also, video games allowed for what was hardly possible with EM technology, namely player to player competition, like in Pong. (This was probably the true revolution of video games: a competitive game, where players could match on equal ground, regardless of age, sex, size, physical strength, etc.)

Searching for "EM arcade game" on a video platform like YouTube may be worth it…
