Fighting Games! Fighting Games! Fighting Games! Fighting Games! Fighting Games!Fighting games are something else IMO, they are a breed apart from the rest of the games!! They sorta change the player, while a RTS/FPS/RPG could never do that!!Fighting games helped me build self-confidence(but not by much)!

OverlordMondo Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 SHUMPS (I think that's the accronym) - R Type, Pulstar, Super Aleste Futuristic Sports - Hyperblade and another very fav game, Speedball 2I should've added those to mine. But what exactly is SHUMPS an acronym for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[S4]The Phantom Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Real Time strategy FPS Fighting (more 2D than 3D) MMORPG Real Time Role Playing In no particular order However for me the genre is a mere category. I hated fighting games until I played Samurai Shodown 2 after 7 years had passed since its original release. It's the game that matters....

ken_cinder Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I like anything FUN, I don't have any real bias towards any genre as long as I can find a game in it that entertains me. The only genre I'm impartial to is fighting games, I feel that genre has started going downhill in the past 3 or 4 years and I don't play newer ones.The genres I lean towards more......

Chaotica Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 SHUMPS (I think that's the accronym) - R Type, Pulstar, Super Aleste Futuristic Sports - Hyperblade and another very fav game, Speedball 2I should've added those to mine. But what exactly is SHUMPS an acronym for? Quick google search shows that some people say "shumps" but the more correct term is "shmups." A very good site about all shmups is here I couldn't find what the acronym means, but in old days the genre was called "Shoot 'Em Ups," so I think the accronym is roughly derived from there. I recently downloaded R-Type Leo for Mame - how awesome is that game! Ah, R-Type... Another thing...I used to love flight sims, but now I have surprisingly dropped out of them. Too many FPS, I guess.
