RPG

Initialism. When applied to a "rocket-propelled grenade" it derives from Russian РПГ (RPG), initialism of ручной противотанковый гранатомёт (ručnoj protivotankovyj granatomjót, “hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher”), of which "rocket-propelled grenade" is a backronym (though an accurate description of the weapon system).

This is an RPG experience DBZ fans must have, but even if you've never seen DBZ, it's still an interesting game due to the unique fighting scenes and the ability to fly around the map.

1993 April 20, “Dragon Ball Z”, in GameFan, page 89:

I love shooters, RPGs, and pretty much anything with free-roam or gore.

2009, The Official Xbox Magazine - Issues 92-95, page 335:

I reckon Runescape^([sic]) is the game that introduced my young, ignorant, and stubborn self to modern RPGs. In a way, I owe at least part of how my career has shaped up to trimmed rune and obby capes.

tycoon

Borrowed from Japanese 大君(たいくん) (taikun, “great lord, prince”), a title for the shōgun. Related to taipan, from Cantonese 大班 (daai⁶ baan¹). The game sense was derived from the use of tycoon in titles of games in which one plays a tycoon (e.g., RollerCoaster Tycoon; cf. Street Fighter and later fighter (“game with a focus on physical combat”)).

Chairman Yu is a tycoon who owns multiple hotel chains.

Dagobert had only one customer, an American who wore square, rimless glasses and a beige suit and looked like a Wall Street tycoon.

1956, Delano Ames, chapter 24, in Crime out of Mind:

Tycoons / A game in which users build up some sort of business by earning money over time and then using that money on upgrades.

2013, Brandon LaRouche, Intermediate ROBLOX Lua Programming, Double Trouble Studio, →ISBN, page 172:

In most tycoons, you will find an automatic machine called a dropper, which is used for producing bricks.

2017, Christina Majaski, The Ultimate Unofficial Guide to Robloxing: Everything You Need to Know to Build Awesome Games!, New York, N.Y.: Sky Pony Press, →ISBN, page 65:

In my opinion, tycoons are great to create as your first game, but they take time to learn! The main tips are to keep the tycoon simple and stick with a theme.

2019, Roblox Guide to Success and Dominating the World of Roblox, Ro Books, →ISBN, page 13:

These experiences have fallen somewhat out of favor because once a tycoon is complete and all items are unlocked, there is not much of an incentive to continue playing. Updating these experiences can be a more difficult task, depending on how your tycoon is structured.

2022, Zander Brumbaugh, Coding Roblox Games Made Easy, 2nd edition, Packt, →ISBN, page 217:

“What should we play? Adopt Me, a tycoon, SCP, an obby?”

2022, Jessica Stone, Digital Play Therapy: A Clinician’s Guide to Comfort and Competence, 2nd edition, Routledge, →ISBN:

The next most common game that we see inside Roblox are Tycoons.

adventure game

Phipps have put together a well planned and sometimes amusing adventure game here, with text and location graphics, which are simple but attractive.

1984 May, “Living Guide to Spectrum Software: Adventure Games”, in Crash, number 4:

The critics of adventure games are quick to point out that, really, adventure games are not games at all, but merely a series of puzzles strung together with bits of story between them. The puzzles, regardless of their form, serve as locked doors […]

Undoubtedly a force in the early days of the graphical adventure game genre was LucasArts. With an army of professional film personnel from which to draw, LucasArts titles gained a huge reputation for outstanding storytelling[…]

Metroidvania

en-noun

Metroidvania (countable and uncountable, plural Metroidvanias)

Blend of Metroid and Castlevania, two influential games of this type.

The Castlevania games share similarities with the Metroid series, in particular the free-roaming design in which new abilities allow access to different areas. Because of this, fans often refer to such games as "Metroidvania" in style.

2008, Guinness World Records Gamer's Edition:

It's got Metroidvania elements - it's structured like one, I guess, in that it's lots of exploration with a fair bit of backtracking and getting new abilities that unlock previously unopened areas and that sort of thing.

2009 September 1, Chris Whitworth, “Batman Arkham Asylum 24.99”, in uk.games.video.misc (Usenet), message-ID <slrnh9qqa3.giu.usenet.chris@parm.vs.topper.me.uk>:

Pure Metroidvania... with 3D in-engine cutscenes.

2009 September 14, Jonah Falcon, “Shadow Complex Great Game”, in alt.games.video.xbox (Usenet), message-ID <RpWdnUTaXZXTRjPXnZ2dnUVZ_hWdnZ2d@earthlink.com>:

Metroidvanias are an inherently clever genre, and the cleverness can sometimes sap a little of the energy.

2019 June 18, Christian Donlan, “Gato Roboto review - a pet-sized Metroidvania filled with delights”, in Eurogamer:

(video games, informal) A (genre of) platform game with role-playing game elements and inventory items, involving more exploration than a traditional linear platform game, particularly revisiting previously explored areas.


bullet hell

bullet hell (countable and uncountable, plural bullet hells)

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-bullet hell.wav

Mars Matrix is a bullet hell game that is pretty well designed.

2003, Billy Bissette, “SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!”, in rec.games.video.sega (Usenet):

A few of the game cabinets are connected to flat-screen TVs so bystanders can stop and ogle. Grimy VCRs are hooked up to bullet-hell shooting games...

2008, Brian Ashcraft, Jean Snow, Arcade Mania: The Turbo-charged World of Japan's Game Centers:

The camera is a convenient nonviolent replacement for a gun, a principle perhaps taken most literally by Shoot the Bullet (2005), a bullet hell game in which you clear bullets by photographing them.

2019 February 25, Jordan Erica Webber, “Point and shoot: what's next for photography in video games?”, in The Guardian:

(video games, chiefly attributive) A genre of two-dimensional shoot 'em up in which the playfield is almost filled with a barrage of enemy bullets.

joystick waggler

en-noun

joystick waggler (plural joystick wagglers)

Popeye 3 is an out-and-out joystick waggler. While Zeppelin's Tag Team Wrestling used the old 'press fire with a direction' control method, to beat your opponent in Popeye 3, you have two stages of frenetic wrist-mangling.

1992, Jon Pillar, Popeye III (game review) in Your Sinclair 83, November 1992

It's not an exact simulation and it's not a joystick waggler. It is basically CM2 for cricket.

1998, Mike Fairweather, “International cricket captain, opinions wanted”, in comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.sports (Usenet):

Could be wrong but I'm sure T&F and several of the other give-the-controls-a-good-twatting games were actually button bashers rather than joystick wagglers. Bit picky I know.....

2003, Nomenluni, “What Speccy game should have been in the arcade?”, in comp.sys.sinclair (Usenet):

(video games, informal) A video game, usually based on a sport, where the player must build up and maintain speed or energy by rapidly moving the joystick back and forth.


god game

Mana often grows in exponential proportion to population size, so as the population increases the player acquires vastly greater powers—a progression that god games share with spellcaster characters in role-playing games.

2010, Ernest Adams, Fundamentals of Game Design, page 580:

(video games) A style of game in which the player observes and controls a large-scale environment, such as a city.

otome game

The otome games are marketed heavily toward female gamers, something generally uncommon with video game marketing. As of this writing, several game developers have invested in localizing otome games originally released only in Japan into English.

2017, Amy M. Green, Matthew Wilhelm Kapell, Storytelling in Video Games: The Art of the Digital Narrative:

A story-based video game in which the player attempts to establish a romantic relationship between the female player character and one of several male characters.

乙女遊戲

romance simulation game (usually the protagonist is a woman)


twitch game

‘They’re Twitch Games,’ he grinned, ‘arcade games. An adventure game is one where you use your mind; if you can type, you can play an adventure. If you require anything other than that, you’ve got a twitch game — an arcade game — where your skill of movement is more important than your thinking. […]

1985, Scott Adams, quoted in Graeme Kidd, Great Scott!, in Crash issue 15

The Internet is a bad bet for online versions of twitch games because the Internet can be about as split-second and consistent as your average presidential candidate.

2003, Jessica Mulligan, Bridgette Patrovsky, Developing Online Games: An Insider's Guide, page 157:

The fun of twitch games comes from the mastery of a difficult dexterity challenge.

2009, Brenda Brathwaite, Ian Schreiber, Challenges for Game Designers, page 113:

(informal, video games) A video game requiring fast reactions.

Mix together a shoot-’em-up, a collect-’em-up and a maze game, add sundry reaction tests to taste and you’ve got a tasty game indeed.

1988, Firefly (game review) in CRASH magazine (issue 50)

It's a scrolling, platform, arcade collect-'em-up adventure which shows off the SNES well, and not one you'll complete on the first couple of attempts!

1993, Neil West, Nick Roberts, Super NES Games Unauthorized Power Tips Book:

In the beginning there were no genres. There was only a small number of games, most of which looked very different. As more games appeared you could perhaps begin to classify them: spaceship games, collect-'em-ups, and so on.

2012, Clive Fencott, Jo Clay, Mike Lockyer, Game Invaders: The Theory and Understanding of Computer Games:

(video games) A video game based around collecting items.

zap 'em up

This is not your average 'zap 'em up' game. The alien craft all have different characteristics, and judging a spaceship's speed as you home in for the kill is something you'll get the hang of only after much experience.

1986, Luke C, Battle Of The Planets (video game review) in Your Sinclair issue 3

Conversation and camaraderie at the foosball table won out over solo, zap-em-up video games in 1994, according to industry experts.

1994, Night Club & Bar, volume 10, page 388:

You can totally be yourself without worrying if your guy is impressed or embarrassed! You don't have to sit through rough war flicks, or shoot 'em up or zap 'em up movies.

2003, Andrea Stephens, Stuff a Girl’s Gotta Know: Little Hints for Big Things in A Teen's Life:

(informal, video games) A shoot 'em up involving energy weapons.


cow-clicker

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-cow-clicker.wav

Coined by Ian Bogost in response to FarmVille winning an award for "Best New Social/Online Game" at the 2010 Game Developers Choice Awards. The win caused Bogost, a critic of the freemium model used by Zynga, to be struck with the thought: "Games like FarmVille are cow clickers. You click on a cow, and that's all you do." He subsequently developed Cow Clicker, an intentionally simplistic parody game, which itself became a surprise viral hit.

The plan was to offer a much deeper experience than what Farmville and rest of the cow-clickers ever could.

2015, Juho Kuorikoski, Finnish Video Games: A History and Catalog, page 235:

(video games, derogatory) A video game that requires the player to perform repetitive tasks at certain intervals.

jump'n'run

The scene of jumping on an invisible bridge is then to be seen as a discourse fragment that builds a discourse strand together with other elements (e.g., in the context of other jump'n'runs) that lead into a shared discourse that itself can be integrated into an elementary discourse or a dispositive (cf. Jäger 2004, 117). In the framework of a discourse analysis, Lara Croft's death jump would not be conceived as a unique moment or narrative.

2014, Jason Thompson, The Game Culture Reader, page 69:

The ideal example to illustrate the technique of Mickey-Mousing would, of course, be Warren Spector's Epic Mickey (2010), a jump'n'run game for the Nintendo Wii console in which the namesake of this scoring concept has to travel through wastelands and cartoon universes and meet inhabitants like Oswald the Rabbit, Mickey's historic predecessor abandoned by Disney Productions decades ago.

2012, Peter Moormann, Music and Game: Perspectives on a Popular Alliance, page 98:

There are tons of first person shooters, millions of car or racing games, and thousands of platformers. All great ideas will be cloned and remade sooner or later. My friends and I have paid homage to a couple of our favorite Jump 'n' Runs with Pitiri 1977.

2014, Jürgen Brunner, Getting Started with Clickteam Fusion:

The absence of classical input options certainly complicates the playing of typical genre games as represented by, for example, Jump'n'Runs or Shoot'em Ups. Nevertheless, the touch-sensitive surface of iOS devices offers the possibility of emulating the missing joystick or game pad […]

2016, Thomas Lucka, iOS Game Development: Developing Games for iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch:

(video games) A platform game that involves jumping over obstacles.

Rare would go on to produce several 3D platformers in this mould: Donkey Kong 64 (1999) was an absolute collectathon notable for an appalling opening rap and the ability to play as five very different characters […]

2015, Rich Stanton, A Brief History Of Video Games: From Atari to Virtual Reality, page 202:

As if this wasn't already becoming one of the most tedious collectathons ever, the game only bothers to track the total number of Zygarde Cells and Cores you've collected, which you can check by using the Zygarde Cube item from your bag.

2016, Gamer Guides, Pokémon Sun & Moon - Strategy Guide:
