syntax_X Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Neither really stuck for me, I still call them Shootemups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I've never heard it referred to as a shump. I call em shmups. Semi-related, my wife refers to FPSs as "shooty games". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriticalCid Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Shoot 'em up. Shmup is one of the most awful abbreviations we have in gaming and I cringe everytime when I hear it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I feel about the term "toon". It sends me into a murderous rage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroHumanoid Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Although I have used it once or twice,the word shmup annoys me almost as much as when people say 'snes' as 1 word rather than 4 letters....Sent from my VS987 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmonkus Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Honestly the word SHMUP or saying SNES as a word instead spelling it out is so low on my list of things to care about in gaming I never gave it any thought. But now that I think about it can we shorten Beat Em Up to BUMP ? huh, can we ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is normally a typo, but I love it lol. I should have included Shoot 'Em Up when I started the poll argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
