Default Shoot em ups
Can anyone tell me about the history of shoot em up games? For example what was the first scrolling shooter?

I'm interested in their history in general, not just on the Amiga.

It's for my own curiosity really

Space War on the PDP-1 (programmed in 1962) was the first shoot-em up, and also considered the first interactive computer game.

<self opinionated git>I was never a massive fan of (non-platformer) shoot-em-ups. I devived some pleasure from the creative side of SEUCK on the C64 and later Amiga tho, and 2 player G-Force 2 was great fun!</self opinionated git>
