Decontamination is the process of removing hazardous materials from a person or object. In games, this is usually achieved by lasers, rather than water as in the real world.
Elevator music is used in many games as a humorous contrast to the action. Although this pleasant, bland muzak went out of usage in elevators in the 1980s, it continues on in video games set both in current times and the future.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in first-person shooters, racing games, and visual novels, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs, 3D platformers, and adventure games.
The interactive loading screen has thankfully relieved some of the boredom that comes with long load times through entertaining us with small minigames. These generally involve simply moving objects around on screen usually with some relevance to the game itself.
Loading Screens are specific screens that are displayed while a game is loading resources so that the player has something to distract them while the game loads. Loading Screens can be images, text or even mini-games - and sometimes a combination of all three.
