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.
Anthropomorphism is the concept of an object, concept or character that has human qualities or traits, such as speech, a level of intelligence similar or higher than a human's and self consciousness. "Anthro" means "of human" and related to the concept of humanity.
It's all in the family.
Games that were made entirely by one person.
The concept of purchasing media and having it delivered over the internet. No physical representation of this content is given, and although the content resides on the user's hard drive they are typically granted a license to the product, rather than ownership of it.
A Christian holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Christ.
An Easter Egg is an intentionally hidden cheat or hidden content in a video game, also known as a "secret".
A heads-up display is a graphical overlay of vital information used in most modern games.
A game that has holiday themes was either initially designed as a game for a holiday, or one that has holiday elements in a level, or as an additional unlockable feature, either through the use of the system clock, or an additional download.
“Indie” or “independently developed” games are video games which are developed by a studio without the support of an external publisher.
With the internet in full swing, some games reflect its leak into popular culture by making references to the World Wide Web.
A digital distribution service built around indie works and their creators.
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.
Games made for a younger audience, usually between 3-9.
This concept is for games in which at least one of the main characters is male.
These are often a departure from the conventional gameplay of a game. There have also been compilations; games including only minigames. The Mario Party series has a lot of minigames, too!
Pixel art refers to digital images composed of visible pixels, drawn with individual pixel-level intent and precision.
Rabbits, or bunnies, are smallish mammals with long ears and a cottony tail.
A two-dimensional image or animation overlaid into a scene. The foundation of early 2D games, making up everything from props to the player-controlled character.
Games whose main character is so egotistical that the whole game just HAS to be named after them.
Player characters that are infants, children, or adolescents.
