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.
Winged, usually flying creatures, many of which enjoy perching on branches and defecating on unfortunate victims below.
Games that can be played with a CGA monitor and graphics card. CGA, Color Graphics Adapter was the first generation of color graphics for the IBM PC.
An aquatic flying bird that is sometimes hunted. Ducks appear in numerous games, some named after them (Duck Hunt), and as part of the scenery of other games (Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal).
Cold-blooded aquatic animals that have scales and breathe through gills.
A frog is a small and usually green amphibian that can swim, hop, and ribbit. Sadly, most of them aren't princes.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Hippopotamuses, or Hippos are African semi-aquatic mammals that are known for their voracious appetites, though wild ones have never been seen eating small white balls.
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.
Whether they're getting in the way while you're walking or driving, you always feel the need to trample them.
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
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.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
Traffic consists a bunch of cars, pedestrians and other vehicles using a common transport route.
Video games contain a lot of activities for players to do underwater, from exploration to combat. Sometimes games treat water as simple low gravity movement, while other games treat underwater more realistically.
A level that takes place either in or near water.
Marine mammals that can grow to be among the largest animals on earth. Whales are sometimes hunted for their meat, oil, and ambergris; this has left many species seriously endangered.
