Games prominently featuring celebrities, who either endorse the game or act as the focus of the story. Games with characters who happen to be played by celebrities are not always tie-ins.
Games that are little more than extensive cinematic sequences in which the player has little interaction with what is happening onscreen. This notion of a cinematic game is epitomized by laserdisc arcade classics such as Astron Belt, Dragon's Lair and Bega's Battle.
A real-life athlete who appears on the cover art of a sports game. Usually an up-and-coming star in the sport or a perennial fan favorite.
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.
In many games there is a ranking system, the players with the highest point value are listed in a "high score" table.
Cutscenes involving real actors on a set or in front of a chroma key screen.
CD or DVD based games that are shipped in a single package with 2 or more discs due to limited storage capacity.
Games that include real photography on the game's cover.
Games that can only be played with both the Sega CD AND the Sega 32X.
