I get asked this many times, and even more so these days with MAME, and companies such as Cave bringing these games into our homes. I've always used the term myself - i've been a fan since i was a kid! But with their popularity rising again recently, the term is getting used more often. So what is it? Well it's a shortened term for "Shoot 'Em Up" which in turn is used to describe games whereby the player has to try and survive against many enemies using some form of gun type weapon(s) and the first game credited to this genre is Space Invaders (although arguably it could be Spacewar!) So who is responsible for the term? It's an ongoing debate but the earliest known record is in Issue 3 of Zzap!64 magazine in 1985. From the Editorial: These days "shmup" is used mainly to describle vertical or horizontally scrolling shoot 'em ups, but it is generally accepted that any game that has the player shoot his way through many enemies can be included in the genre.
