RTS = real-time strategy
FPS = first-person shooter
I''ve never heard of an AVG though.

Yes I realize im a n00b...

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."

Don't quote me, but I'd guess that AVG stands for Adventure Game.

"Bahwani"??? Are you sure you didn''t mishear "Bemani"? (This being the trademark for Konami''s set of music games.)

FPS also refers to Frames Per Second. Never heared of AVG (except the AVG virus scanner) but, taking a wild guess - Adventure Game?

WarZone - A 2D Action Wargame
