Main Page

Hello, and welcome to the digital library known as the Shmups Wiki!

This is a community-centered wiki, aiming to archive and verify information about various games in the shoot-em-up category of games.
As an open community project, everyone is encouraged to contribute!

We exist to help encourage the growth of the shooting game community, and to help make it easier to get into the genre.
We exist as an answer to the question, "Where do I go to learn more about this game (and/or how to play it)?"

We aim to offer detailed game breakdowns, art galleries, game and genre history, and various strategic information.

Our central goal is to become the ultimate compendium of shmup information -- officially verified by highly competent players and researchers in the community!

As a long-term goal and a declaration of the intent of shmups.wiki -- this wiki will eventually contain accurate information about every shooting game made by every developer, no matter how obscure!
