minigame

A minigame is a (usually short) segment of a video game that uses a different style of gameplay than the rest of the game. For example, an adventure game may have a boxing minigame, or a third person shooter might feature a racing minigame. The use of minigames varies greatly by game and by genre. In simulation games, minigames are intended to mimic a certain aspect of the simulation (for example, the hunting sequences in The Oregon Trail). Role-playing games often include complex, optional minigames that unlock a hidden feature of gameplay (usually granting the player's character some new ability). Some games, particularly anthology-like puzzle like Wario Ware, are made up of minigames so short they can only be called Microgames, and games like Mario Party are quite specficially a bunch of minigames strung together. Another example of a minigame is Arcomage, a game from Might and Magic VII. It involves building up your tower whilst trying to destroy the computer opponent's tower. It's a simple but very addictive game that could be played at the inns around the Might and Magic VII game-world.
