ハードメーカー Hardware Producer/Maker/Company

バグ Bug (as in programming error)

パスワード Password

バッドエンティング Bad Ending

波動コマンド Wavedashing command (The book uses the example of characters like Ryu and Ken from Street Fighter, however the first part translates to "moving wave". Considering I used to be an avid Melee player, I think this is what it could translate to.)

バトル Battle

パブリッシャー Publisher

ハメ (技) (When your partner runs away during an action or shooting game. Usually this results in players fighting with each other. Maybe one definition of a douchebag).

美少女ゲーム Love Simulation Game (also see ギャルゲー)

ヒットポイント Hit Points

ピヨる To be knocked unconscious (used in fighting games after a character takes massive damage and the player loses control of the character for a few seconds)

ファーストパーソンシューティング First-Person Shooter (FPS)

フィールド Field

ふっかつのじゅもん During the days with storing saved games with passwords, games such like Dragon Quest I and II used them. Players had trouble remembering the passwords to go back to their games. This refers to a password system that is very difficult to recall or input correctly.

フラグ Flag (or quest item). I am sure this can also mean "Frag" as they are spelled the same in katagana (the alphabet for foreign words).
