Platform Shooter

7 titles

Shooters in this style (made popular in the ‘80s and early ‘90s) have players controlling a character (human, alien, robot or other character) as they shoot various enemies from a 2D perspective (usually moving from left to right). Nearly all of the games in this genre feature platform jumping and other action sequences, but the emphasis on shooting enemies from all directions is what distinguishes these titles from other styles.
