"You've heard the classics, you've played the legends, and you'll never forget that they mean to you. But now it's time to create new memories. With new games that you've yet to explore, by new musicians whose music you've yet to hear. Some are modern and CD quality, others sound like the chiptunes of old creating new compositions using the tools of yesteryear. And lots of them, more than you know, are Shoot-em-up's.
Because Shoot-em-up's are making a comeback. The games were there, it was most of us that were absent. But no longer. It's us, the shooting game fans that are back.
How do we bring the genre back to prominence? By staying back, by playing the games, by building a community around them, by supporting the developers out there that deserve it so making shooting games is profitable again. Sharing the games with your kids and friends, and enjoying the great music that's such an integral part of why we fell in love with them in the first place."
