Here are [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]] for [[Video Games]]. The [[NES]]'s US introduction in October 1985 marked the beginning of the end of [[The Great Video Game Crash of 1983]], and we have chosen it as a cutoff date for [[The Oldest Ones in the Book]] of [[Video Game Tropes]].
 
A good number of the RPG tropes can be found here, since these games trace their roots pretty much directly back to [[Tabletop RPG|Tabletop RPGs]]s such as ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'', which were among the first commercial games to be ported over to a video game system.
 
'''Examples''':
Line 80:
* [[Level Scaling]]: ''Beneath Apple Manor'', 1978
* [[Light Gun Game]]: ''Ray-O-Lite'', 1936
* [[Match Three Game]]: ''[[OXO]]'', 1952 -- You1952—You '''do''' have to match three to win.
* [[Mini Boss]]: ''[[Dnd]]'', 1975
* [[Mini Game]]: ''[[Escape From the Mindmaster]]'', 1982
* [[Mook Maker]]: The oil drum in ''[[Donkey Kong]]'', 1981.
* [[Multi User Dungeon]]: ''[[Multi-User Dungeon]]'', 1979
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Of course -- ifcourse—if you're ignorant of anything Nintendo preNES -- thepreNES—the title may now break your mind.
* [[Nonstandard Game Over]]: ''[[Star Trek Text Game]]'', 1971, running out of fuel.
* [[No Plot, No Problem]]: Sports and board games in general are [[Older Than Dirt]].
