Iconic Games
FIFA 98: Road to World Cup

Game Design
Diegetic UI
When the game's interface exists inside the game world itself, not floating on your screen like a magic overlay.
Mechanics
i-Frames (Invincibility Frames)
Those precious frames during a dodge roll where the game pretends you don't exist.
Technology
Serialization
Converting your game's living, breathing objects into dead data that can be written to disk and resurrected later.
Narrative
Grimdark vs Hopepunk
Two opposing tonal philosophies: the world is irredeemably dark versus the world is dark but kindness is revolutionary.
