A boss fight is a culminating challenge that pits the player against one or more enemies representing a greater threat and/or difficulty than those previously faced. These scenarios typically feature unique antagonists.
Bosses are enemies that fight you at the end of a level or at a significant point in the story.
Side-scrolling games present the world as viewed perpendicular to the direction the characters are facing on screen. With a heavy focus on lateral movement, objectives are often met by moving from one end of a stage to the other.
Mummies are lumbering undead corpses wrapped in bandages. They are often associated with ancient Egypt and may have magical powers or be immortal.
A chicken is a small, domesticated flightless bird that can be white, yellow, brown or black. A female is a hen, a male a rooster, and a baby a chick.
Platforms conveniently moving you towards your destination to allow the crossing of large expanses which would otherwise be impossible to cross.
The period in world history between 1800 and 1899. It saw some interesting events play out, including the Industrial Revolution, the height of British imperialism under Queen Victoria, the American Civil War and westward expansion, the Napoleonic Wars, and the end of Japan's feudal era, all of which have been depicted in video games.
America's civil war lasted four years, from 1861 to 1865. The southern states seceded and formed the Confederacy, fighting for their independence, while the northern Union saw secession as an act of treason and fought to restore national solidarity. Northern victory reunited the states and abolished slavery.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
