Despite his wizarding upbringing, Sirius had managed to figure out some aspects of muggle popular culture. He'd enjoyed muggle music in his time, and had even had a TV in his flat at one point. He'd only figured out you had to hook it up to get any programs on it a few months after buying it, but he did watch his share of television once he got that.
But his already limited muggle culture knowledge only went as far as 1981, and he'd only briefly heard of videogames. So obviously when an exploration of Tomorrowland led him to the Starcade, he was overtaken with curiosity. Most of the games seemed pretty complicated, and when he tried to play, he couldn't figure out how to work them. It made logical sense that it'd be voice or thought activated, but no such luck.
On the other hand, one game did seem pretty simple-- at least the colored arrows on the screen looked like they matched the pad on the ground, and the name of the game made it pretty clear what you were supposed to do.
That didn't mean that once he started to play that it was easy.
