Games in which the player shoots things to progress, usually with a variety of guns, and other times with bows and arrows.

First-Person Shooter refers to a genre where the camera is at the same place as your eyes: you see (on screen) the scenes just like you'd experience it.

Shoot 'Em Up or shmup games are a subset of shooter games where the player continually moves forward while waves of enemies enter the screen. Both shooting and dodging are critical to advancing. See also Bullet Hell.
