Like I get that the term is probably newer than some of the really ancient stuff like Super Mario Bros but the manuals would always be like "if you run out of men/balloons/tries..."

Tries at least makes sense. But the balloons were clearly just an arbitrary icon for an abstract concept lol and WTF at how dark starting the game with three identical Mario clones who die forever if you touch a goomba is.
