Sure, these days have almost every game sporting the newfangled 3D, but way back when, everyone had to live with plain old 2D. 2D, or two dimensions, limit the game to scrolling backgrounds, but some games even now make use of this basic concept.
Levels that progress forward by themselves at a fixed rate.
A stereotypical prehistoric human, usually clad in animal skins and rather violent. Does not always live in a cave.
Games that can be played with a CGA monitor and graphics card. CGA, Color Graphics Adapter was the first generation of color graphics for the IBM PC.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
These prehistoric behemoths cause chaos amongst many. Unfortunately, they are extinct.
Drowning in games occurs when a being (not suited to be in water) runs out of oxygen, time, power, or barely even touches the water surface. Further complicated by the local sea-life that can knock the air out of you, should you get close.
Video games that are based on comic books, manga and graphic novels.
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
A situation where the player-controlled character loses their life immediately. The quickness of that demise is often a stark departure from the balance of power, and sometimes the rules, established by the developers during the rest of the game.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto a building, a platform, or a skull, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
These games are based off of established licenses, such as movies, comics, or TV shows. Examples are the James Bond 007 and Spider-Man franchises.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
Whether it has voice over or not, text bubbles are a way of reading the dialog that a character on screen is saying and or thinking.
