Abductions are events in which people, animals, or things are taken by aliens and UFOs for various purposes including experimentation and other unknown reasons.
In video games, breaking the fourth wall occurs when a game becomes aware of its nature as a game, or when a character directly acknowledges the player.
When a character from an existing media franchise makes a brief appearance in a video game, sometimes without even openly acknowledging their origins.
The concept of a game referencing another game through mockery, parody or even directly. A game reference to the same franchise does not count.
Games where you control more than one character, or are a part of a team, and where it is crucial that every team member survives.
Inflation is when you expand or fill up something with something else, usually air, to make it more full or bigger. Some mini-games have you be the first to completely inflate a balloon, or, in the case of Dig-Dug, you inflate monsters to have them explode!
Make sure you respect nature, or else! Note: This only concerns *protagonists*.
Games that allow characters to be switched with the press of a button. This concept's definition does not include player switching in team sports games.
Characters that are overweight have more body fat than normal for their race, or at least look it. A character that is overweight may or may not have great strength.
Puzzle platformers are platform games where the key aspect involves solving riddles and puzzles, rather than combat.
Characters who at some point possess the ability to shrink in size.
The concept of a character leaping forwards or backwards in time.
The event of a character's flesh and organs disappearing so rapidly that they are fully skeletonized in a matter of seconds. Usually done for comedic effect.
Vehicular combat combines driving and combat to form a unique fast paced action game. Many games are purely vehicular combat based (e.g. Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8) or can contain have sections for such combat (e.g. Halo or Mass Effect).
Vikings were the seafaring people in Scandinavia between 800 - 1050.
