English scope note Video games in which the player controls a character (most commonly an aircraft) that must defend itself against large amounts of enemies by shooting at them, usually from a top down or side on perspective set against a scrolling background while enemies and projectiles fly at them. Do not include games that restrict the player’s movement on screen or that do not feature scrolling backgrounds; class these instead in the broader Shooter video games genre. Published
