Hackers: Because arcades don't really exist anymore and no one cares about the high score on for the ones that are still around.
I dunno, AAAAAA still seems to be very interested in arcade high scores, though even they don't seem to know how many As are in their name.
I thought he was playing a PlayStation game on a less known type of controller. Googled it, apparently was an early version of the game Wipeout, unsure if it was an arcade game. Kinda makes sense for the hackers to have an early version.

I'll say this about Hackers: it's a period piece about what we (at the time) wanted out of the present. We wanted hacking, computers, living at the bleeding edge of all this tech, to look and sound that cool. So the movie takes liberties.
