Cheered up after games machine finally arrived (8)
I believe the answer is:
consoled
'cheered' is the definition.
(consoling is a kind of cheering)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for consoled that I've seen before include "Gave comfort to (someone)" , "Comforted in time of sorrow" , "Cheered" .)
