>Calling levels ''boards''
Okay. What is this shit? Why is this a thing?

Back in the NES days kids had no idea what to call a "space" in the game. The closest thing in reference to would be a board from a board game. But ever since Super Mario Bros there were multiple "boards"
I think most games at some point just labeled them as levels so it's retarded to call them boards nowadays.

Nigger, the games themselves called them stages or levels. I have never seen a game refer to a stage as a board.
It's as retarded as calling an extra life ''insurance'' or ''extra toon''.

Take Bubble Bobble for example, there's no specific levels mentioned, you just go from screen to screen, and people referred to those screens as boards.
I've never heard a level with scrolling being called a board, just a static level screen like in old arcade games, Bubble Bobble, Donkey Kong, whatever
>calling player characters "toons"
>>335911431
yep, the same thing happened here in france. some manuals must have said "boards" and it was translated like this everywhere

How is a level from a video game at all similar to a board from a board game?
Everyone has always called them levels or stages here.
>>335911257
literally never heard anyone use that phrase

Tell us how you really feel.
My understanding is that it was a weird, old-school term for game levels based on people's understanding of Board Games, and so a new "Map" or "level" was called a "Board".
As for the resurgence of the term, blame youtubers.
>>335911257
do you have any recent exemple of this

>Why is this a thing?

>calling a level a "course"
>>335916394
Yeah, this one I don't really get either.

The ones I always remember is when I was a kid we called them lives, and for some games it was game over when you lost your last life (at Lives = 1) but some games gave you a Lives = 0 chance. We always called that a "Ghost Life", no idea why, but it's a fun name, I still like it.
And of course when we beat a game, we "Clocked it." I don't think I've ever heard that phrase used since.
when you're toon get's shoot in that one board by an turrent

Absolutely boggling.

It's not "one mans" it's "a free man"
>An archaic term used in first and second generation games to represent any type of changing stage that cannot be classified as a wave or round. Used in modern times to represent levels in board game-structured games or puzzle games where all levels share a common basic geometry, such as The Adventures of Lolo or Umihara Kawase.
