What the heck is a shmup. Sounds like an insult. Crazy kids and your new fangled lingo

Most fun series of beat 'em up games was Ninja Turtles in the arcade

I've spent a lot of money on fighters, especially Virtua Fighter and Soul Blade. The Vs Street Fighter series was good too

Last racing game I played at an arcade was probably Cruisin World

And light gun games are a blast, but there were never many to choose from. I played a newer Time Crisis game last year at some arcade about an hour away from where I live. We probably spent like ten bucks on that between me and my buddy
