Concepts

2D

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.
Anthropomorphism

Anthropomorphism is the concept of an object, concept or character that has human qualities or traits, such as speech, a level of intelligence similar or higher than a human's and self consciousness. "Anthro" means "of human" and related to the concept of humanity.
Death

The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Flip Screen

Flip screen (or flick-screen) is when games are divided up into seperate screens and the player moves to the edges of them to progress to the next one. Commonly used in platformer games.
High Score

In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Inventory

A gameplay mechanic allowing players to store their items and freely carry them around.
Jump

It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
Lives

The concept of lives in video games evolved to let the player get a second chance after failing once. The most recognizable symbol is the heart.
Mascot

A mascot is an iconic character heavily used in the advertising and marketing of a product or a franchise.
Pixel Art

Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
Sprite

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.
Yolkfolk

The primary race in the Dizzy series
