Concepts

Ancient Advanced Civilization Technology

This concept occurs in many RPGs and Sci-Fi games. The Ancient Advanced Civilization Technology is often a giant weapon (Halo Rings, Giant of Babil, etc.) that becomes a major plot focus in the stories of these games.
Battle Screen

A mechanic used mainly in Japanese RPGs of both the action and turn-based variety.
Boss Fight

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

Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
Bounty Hunter

A person who captures or kills fugitives for money. Some are bounty hunters in name only, like Samus Aran.
Can't Swim

It can't be helped; some game characters just don't know how to swim! This usually means automatic death as soon as they hit the water.
Catch Phrase

A specific phrase that gets attached to a specific character, something they are known for saying.
Coordinated Attack

Some games let you coordinate with party members to unleash special attacks through precisely timing your attack efforts.
Currency

Currency has all forms in video games. It is used to buy characters, vehicles, weapons, and more.
Cutscene

A non-interactive sequence within a game most often used for plot advancement.
Damage Numbers

A specific number that briefly floats above an enemy after an attack which displays the exact amount of damage the attack has done.
Descendants of Other Characters

It's all in the family.
Dual Wielding

The concept of using two weapons at once, often for more damage at the cost of accuracy, the use of a shield, grenades, or other similar accessories.
Elements

The Classical Elements are usually considered to be Earth, Water, Air and Fire. In modern science, the Periodic Table has increased the number of elements to 118.
Enemies That Spawn Enemies

An enemy that uses a spell or a skill to multiply and add another enemy to fight
Evil Organization

An evil organization is a group of super-villans who are hell bent on world domination or something of a similar nature. Usually defeated by a single Spy/Superhero/Average Joe/small child.
Expanding Bases

Games where the main character acquires a base that grows as certain requirements are met. For example, when characters join the group, bosses are killed or when items are found.
Experience Points

Experience Points are part of a character advancement system commonly found in RPGs. These points are generally gained by defeating an enemy or completing a task.
Exploration

Concept where everything you need isn't always spelled out for you on the map. Sometimes even the map is not there till you go explore it.
Explosion

A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Faux East Asia

A fictional location in video games inspired by or based on a real location from Far East Asia such as China, Korea or Japan.
Floating Island

Floating Islands are land masses (anywhere from island size to continental size) that float either by the use of magic or some other inexplicable force.
Forced Defeat

A situation in a game where a character will be defeated no matter what action the player takes. The character may be defeated in a cutscene or the player may be forced to fight until they are defeated.
Game Over

Game Over originally appeared in pinball machines, and later, arcade machines. When you lose at a game, it is game over.
Gigas

Gigas are moon-crystal-powered super-weapons made by the leaders of all the ancient civilizations to be used against one another. They were eventually contained, but are individually released throughout the plot of Skies of Arcadia as bosses.
Hanging Ending Screen

You've made it to the end, but you can't get back to the title screen. You cannot skip the ending image. The only options are turning the console off or hitting reset.
Health

Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
Hit Points

An indication of the amount of damage a character can sustain in game. The loss of all hit points results in the players death, or penalty.
Hugging

The expression of care and love, an act performed in many games.
Leveling Up

The process by which characters reach a new level, gain greater attributes, and learn more abilities. It usually involves earning enough experience points by completing a variety of tasks such as quests or by "farming" such as killing other characters for their experience points.
