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.
Some games' graphics are composed of abstract shapes that have no particular meaning outside of their role in the game.

Games whose titles consist of a single word.
These games are designed to be played by one person, and one person only.
A level in which everything is displayed on-screen at once, with no scrolling, flip screen, or 3D movement. Many '80s games consist entirely of single-screen levels.
