Drawing utilities were also limited during this period. ''Melbourne Draw'', one of the few 8-bit screen utilities with a zoom function, was one program of choice for artists.

Battles in fighting games usually take place in a fixed-size arena along a two-dimensional plane, to which the characters' movement is restricted. Characters can navigate this plane horizontally by walking or dashing, and vertically by jumping. Some games, such as ''Tekken (video game), Tekken'', also allow limited movement in 3D space.
