I think most directors use them as props in a scene and may not be knowledgeable on them. Actors would just follow their script despite how wrong it may seem and act like they are playing whatever they are being played.
A good example is Terminator 2 where John Connor plays in the arcades - The Galleria. Where he plays Missile Command and Afterburner. And looks to be a quite accurate in how teens would play and a pretty good depiction of how arcades were then.
