A tree is a perennial woody plant. Trees are often used in games as a natural wall, providing a barrier as well as cover. Many games also use them to make their environments looks more natural and attractive.
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 garment made for covering the hand.
A bomb is an explosive device.
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.
Considered one of the most frequent and controversial implements of destruction in video games and real life, guns are devices that fire projectiles with explosive force.
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 fruit that often provides score or acts as a healing item in games.
A powerful item which is added in many games.
An explosive is any weapon or device designed to cause an explosion, whether it be a frag grenade, TNT, or a nuclear bomb.
Plants bearing petals that are often fragrant and vibrantly colored.
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.
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 watercraft designed to travel on top of bodies of water. A favored tool of pirates and criminals.
A grenade is an explosive device traditionally thrown by hand, but may also be propelled by a rifle or launcher.
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.
An article of clothing that rests on top of one's head.
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.
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.
Coins have long been used in video games as both a form of currency and as a means of accruing points.
The topmost bone in the human body, it contains the brain and the eyes, and is generally considered a good thing to keep intact.
Stone and rock share many of the same mineralogical properties. Stone is often used to construct freestanding durable structures, requiring a great deal of force to break.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
Used in puzzle games to be broken, moved, or matched by color, shape and size. Also used in many early 3D polygonal games. Not to be confused with Squares or Cubes.
A spaceship is a vehicle capable of traversing the vacuum of space.
A kind of protective clothing.
A blunt tool used to hit things, whatever those things may be... a nail, a person.
A ball of hot flickering fire. Usually thrown from the hero's hand into the squealing face of the enemy.
