Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Bats are small, very social flying mammals. They may frequent caves or haunted houses.
Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
A destructible environment means the player has the ability to destroy his/her surroundings. This allows players to use the environment to their advantage.
Enemy Spawners are living or non-living entities that "spawn" enemies under special conditions. Usually, these Spawners must be destroyed in order to stop a never ending flow of hostile threats.
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
A staple in both the real-time and turn-based strategy genres, Fog of War simulates the unknowns of the battlefield by covering areas of the map, to be progressively revealed by the player.
Frames per second is the rate at which a game can render individual and unique consecutive frames in order for the game to be seen on screen by the human eye.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
A digital storefront which donates some of its profits to charity.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
The minimap is a small, simplified version of a larger map. This plays a vital role in many games, especially Real Time Strategy, where it is important to have an overview of the entire map.
Mummies are lumbering undead corpses wrapped in bandages. They are often associated with ancient Egypt and may have magical powers or be immortal.
Open source games are games that have had their source code officially released to the public, allowing anyone to modify, distribute, and create ports of the game.
A place to fall, often bottomless, usually resulting in death.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
Regenerating health is a gameplay mechanic which automatically refills the players health bar after successfully escaping damage for a set amount of time. It is typically seen in RPGs and modern first/third-person shooters.
A page about different rivals seen in video games, such as Shadow the Hedgehog, the numerous rivals from Pokemon games, and so on.
If a person is made of metal and has circuitry instead of a circulatory system, then their game belongs on this list.
No point in gathering coins, gold, gil, money, or whatever if you can't buy anything with it.
Arguably the most fearsome of all the reptiles - it has scales and no legs. Snakes use a variety of tactics to harm players such as poison, hypnosis, and constriction. The most deadly snakes have mastered the way of stealth.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
