Any type of simple ball in a game... can be simply rendered as a single pixel, or as a geometric shape.
A barrel is a hollow cylindrical container, traditionally made of wood staves and bound with iron hoops. In video games, it is used in many ways to fill up a level or even be used in one. They also may explode. Use caution when around barrels.
A bikini is a two piece swimsuit, usually worn by women, to cover the groin area and breasts. It does conform to the adage "less is more".
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 watercraft designed to travel on top of bodies of water. A favored tool of pirates and criminals.

The bread and butter of any self respecting archer, the bow is a stereotypical ranged weapon of olden times and fantasy settings.
A type of glove that is typically worn by boxers.
The boxing ring is ( obviously ) the ring that people box in. Used in all boxing games.

A headwear often made of gold or silver with gems and diamond embedded, often worn by King or Queen.
Feathers are epidermal growths that form the outer covering on birds.
Link uses one. You do it in Animal Crossing. Lakitu uses it in most Mario installments like Mario Kart and Super Mario 64. Loads of games use fishing rods! Reel in that carp!

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.
A restraint device, designed to keep the arms of the wearer close together and to restrict overall movement. They are generally metal and use a simple key to unlock.
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.
Whether it's worn for protection or style, helmets appear in various game genres.
A homing missile is a missile that locks on to and follows its target. Homing missiles are featured in lots of games, from old school to new school.
A Jet pack is a backpack with rocket boosters built in that usually allows the wearer to hover or fly.
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 ladder is used to gain access to higher or lower ground. Also used as a weapon in most wrestling games.
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.
Smack a sucka in the face. Why not do it with a mace?
