An occurrence in a Video Game is when you initially believe you are watching a cinematic before a giant button suddenly appears on the screen, sometimes with instructions such as "Press X to dodge" or "Press B to avoid blades of death." In the worst-case scenario, failing to do so leads to destruction or an alternate scene.
 
The gameplay of these first appeared in the video Game Dragon's Lair. It was a cartoon in which you had to hit buttons at the appropriate moments for the plot to advance. They were first exposed to the action genre with Die Hard Arcade, Shenmue on the Sega Dreamcast, and the Licensed Game of Berserk within the same system.
 
Action- Adventure
 
To prevent you from simply remembering them, The Bourne Conspiracy randomly selects which buttons you must press each time. You'll typically land on the Mission Failed screen if you make even one mistake.
It is accurate when there are action scenes. Another option is to get pumped up and perform a multi-mook takedown manoeuvre, which also involves pressing buttons. If you fail throughout these sequences, you lose your adrenaline, and each jerk you haven't eliminated receives a free hit.
 
The Pale Grin must press Z four times in Tape 16 of The Happyhills Homicide to avoid Madison Carpenter's knife blows.
It occurs in Beyond Good and Evil's last confrontation with the DomZ priest (failure results in damage and compels you to restart the sequence from the beginning), then occurs again with the controllers switched around.
 
A similar mechanic can be seen in Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, which requires you to sketch the correct pattern on the touch screen to eliminate a boss once it has no more life. If you fail, the boss gets a 25% life boost. You always know what pattern you need (it opens the entrance to the room), and you're allowed to practise the habits beforehand (or even during the fight) until they come naturally, which makes it a lot less annoying.
Similar to Just Cause 2, In the PC version, you must press the numbers 1 through 4 to rob cars, break into computers, and perform other mission-critical tasks. Attempting to jack a helicopter is incredibly annoying because the process takes time, and the police shoot the entire time.
