platform games Explanation: "Mit der zunehmenden Verbreitung der Computerspiele entstand auch sehr viel Software dieses Genres. Diese wird oft mit der Bezeichnung Jump and run betitelt" http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geschicklichkeitsspiel meaning, I assume, those games where precise timing and Geschicklichkeit is required to move the figure through some tricky scenario (i.e. NOT Ballerspiele/shoot-em-ups) As far as I can remember (oh, back in the 80s ...), these are called "platform games" (never heard of "Jump and run") http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_game But I'm not that sure ... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-08-10 09:42:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Then I had my doubts when thinking about "Tomb Raider" with all its 3D action, BUT here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_Raider it has "Genre(s)" as "Third-person shooter/Platform" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2006-08-10 09:45:56 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps "platform-type game" would cover everything. |
