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.
An engine developed by Limited Run Games to bring older games to new platforms.
Sometimes you want a challenge, sometimes you wanna coast.
When a character goes to the edge of a platform and starts to wobble. Most commonly seen in side-scrolling platformers.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
In many games that feature team-based competition, "Friendly Fire" is the ability shoot or somehow directly impair ones own teammates.
A grapple is a maneuver in which one character grabs an enemy and usually throws or damages the enemy. Most grapples occur in fighting games.
Hostages exist to be saved, guarded, and occasionally executed.
Similar to the Wilhelm Scream, this is an often used voice sample heard in many games, e.g. Starcraft and Half-Life 2. It is also known as the "TIE fighter scream" for it's similarity to the sound the passing fighters make in Star Wars: A New Hope.
The concept of affecting the universe through supernatural methods, breaking the fundamental laws of science.
The meter which is used to gauge how much power there is left to use magic abilities.
Legendary, stealthy assassins from Japan's feudal era, who are well-trained in the art of the sword, and who may or may not have access to magical powers.
A power-down is an item or effect that has some negative impact on the player character's attributes or abilities, often inverting the effects of a power-up. In certain situations, this can be to the player's advantage.
Power Ups can be used to give the controlling character, or any other character, temporary or permanent upgrades.
A soccer slide tackle is a sideways slide that attempts to knock the ball away from your opponent's feet. It can also be used in a non-sports setting - e.g. to slide tackle an enemy to the ground or simply pass through a narrow gap.
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.
The ability to move from one area to another instantaneously - typically through some sort of special power or device.
