Padlock ProtectionFeature-
Any protection system similar to Padlock System's coded cards. The protection system was produced in conjunction with Software Projects, consisting of a card with numbers and letters that corresponded with a row of four colours. The player upon loading the game would be presented with a number, and using the card, had to match that number to four colours on screen, for instance A1 would need the player to input Blue, Purple, Green, Blue, getting the code correct would start the game. If the incorrect colours were input, the process would just continue to loop.
Perspective 3D GraphicsGraphical View-
Small Gameplay Area (<50%)Feature-
Actual gameplay happens in less than half of computer screen. The surrounding screen area is mostly decorative: it may display some additional information such as score or energy, but losing it wouldn't make a lot of difference.
TeleportationTheme-
A game that allows the player to teleport somewhere, using either technology or magic.
Vector GraphicsFeature-
Any title featuring some kind of real-time vector or polygon based graphics (from FX details to fully polygonal simulators).
