shoot 'em ups i, a total scrub, enjoy. included rail shooters, horizontal and vertical scrolling shooters, etc. basically just not platforming shooters e.g. contra. you get the idea. no numerical ranking 'cause it's a pretty loosely ordered list. while this could change, at present i play these games for the raw challenge and for the simple sensory pleasure of it, and i don't care much about high scores. (i thought about making a separate rail shooter list, but it's kinda light and you start getting into stuff like killer7 and pokemon snap... so, uhhh never mind lol.)
