A physical confrontation between two opponents without any outside interference.
The last boss you face in a game, usually representing the final climax of the game.
FMVs are pre-rendered videos used in place of real-time graphics. Using FMV was an attempt to make videogames look "more like movies", sometimes with CGI animation and others with live-action actors speaking directly to players. The downside is that FMV requires a lot of disk space, and live-action FMV in particular can look terrible by comparison.
The head honcho of a group of miscreants
Cutscenes involving real actors on a set or in front of a chroma key screen.
A boss that players fight multiple times throughout the game. They usually follow the player as they progress.
A character that appears in many games, often unrelated. For an example, Cid from the Final Fantasy series.

A malevolent character whose goals are evil in nature. While villains are commonly featured as antagonists, not all antagonists are necessarily villains.
