Adding a note to the Local Vs Online doc stating that games need to be downloaded before OFFLINE mode can be used would make it clearer
Based on my understanding of the code,
OperationMode.NORMAL (default) - Downloads the game and runs in locally
OperationMode.OFFLINE - Searches the local environments directory to load games
OperationMode.ONLINE - User the arg-agi-3 remote environment/rest api

That says,
Note: Local mode scans for downloaded games. To download the game use the normal OperationMode (default value) once
arc = Arcade(operation_mode=OperationMode.OFFLINE)
env = arc.make("ls20", render_mode="terminal")```
