Top 3 SHMUPS (Top 3 Tuesday)
Michael Crisman writes, "SHMUPS: they’re neither candy nor some weird Asian bird flu derivative! ‘SHMUP’ is Internet shorthand for “shoot ’em up”, a genre of game where you pilot a person or craft through a series of auto-scrolling stages destroying everything in sight to earn power-ups so you can destroy everything in sight even faster. In other words, they’re video game adaptations of my morning commute to the RGM office. And in this week’s Top 3 Tuesday video, MichaelBtheGameGenie wants to know which three SHMUPS are our favorites. He asks and I respond with the only 60FPS, 4k resolution article you’re likely to see on the subject this week. PROTIP: Blink really fast while reading to simulate sprite flicker if you’re looking for added realism, and click those titles to access video of the game in action!"
