A bomb is an explosive device.
A barrel is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wood staves and bound with iron hoops. In video games, it is used in many ways to fill up a level or even be used in one. They also may explode. Use caution when around barrels.
A homing missile is a missile that locks on to and follows its target. Homing missiles are featured in lots of games, from old school to new school.
Used to open doors, or anything else that is locked. In any game where the player has an inventory, it's a safe bet that a key will appear at some point.
A laser is a focused beam of light, invisible through the air without some other medium (such as smoke) to illuminate it. Lasers are often used in video games as part of a targeting system, or as an offensive weapon in their own right.
Even though water in games tends to bring about death, we all still hold it near and dear to us. After all, the human body is comprised mostly of it.
A throwing weapon used by ninja. They come in varying shapes and sizes, but generally aren't used for the purpose of eliminating the target, rather for distracting said target.
A length of exceptionally sharp metal with a handle, used for centuries as the go-to killing device for the human race. It's dead simple: you stick the pointy end in the thing you want to die. Or you could always slash them with the equally sharp sides. That works too.
Cars go places. Hopefully fast.
The topmost bone in the human body, it contains the brain and the eyes, and is generally considered a good thing to keep intact.
An object that allows obstacles, such as rivers or gorges, to be crossed. Bridges can be made of a variety of materials like wood or steel.
A Jet pack is a backpack with rocket boosters built in that usually allows the wearer to hover or fly.
A knife is a commonly seen object in video games. Usually used for close quarters combat, or as a cutting tool.
Doors are a common object in most video games, as well as the keys and objects needed to open them. From role playing to shooters, doors are an important component of many games.
A tank is generally a heavily armoured and armed, tracked vehicle designed to be at the front of a combined forces attack.
A spaceship is a vehicle capable of traversing the vacuum of space.
Helicopters are flying vehicles, typically with a single large main rotor to maintain lift with a tail rotor to counter rotation induced by this main rotor. They are useful in air to ground combat as well as for quickly inserting and recovering infantry close to the front line.
An airplane is a heavier-than-air craft whose lift is generated by airflow over the wings creating a strong pressure difference. In video games, airplanes are used for travel and as a type of weaponry.
A popular weapon that is used in many shooters. The flamethrower is considered one of the most unique ways to defeat a foe.
A web spun by a spider to capture prey. Spider web may also contain items and remains left behind by previous victims.
The sword used by Ryu Hayabusa in his ongoing adventures in Ninja Gaiden. It's passed down by the generations of the Hayabusa clan.
A ninja weapon which looks like a knife. It is very well made and balanced so it can be thrown as well.
Spikes are dangerous and often deadly obstacles that can line the floor, walls, or ceiling of any given room or passageway. They are an extremely common form of environmental hazard, particularly in side-scrolling games.
A corded length of fibers that has many uses.
A hinged or sliding door in a floor or ceiling.
Bear Traps are intended for capturing bears and other large creatures.
A skateboard is a plank with wheels; it is used as a means of transport or used to perform a variety of tricks.
A mode of transportation that requires the pedaling of the user and no gas. Always has two wheels unless otherwise dismembered.
A kind of protective clothing.
An explosive ordinance propelled by a rocket engine designed to blow an object to smithereens. A missile is often guided, in some way, to its target. For example; by laser, remote control, or computer/GPS.
