One of the original shooting games is the lame 1980 video game Berserker. It is basically a game that has a humanoid run around and shoot robots in a maze. A few years later another game came across that was basically the same thing except if offered a more diverse setting and allowed you to shoot a happy smilely face.
Both games were lame after five minutes and I just wish the youth of today would be stuck with shitty games like this instead of the real expensive graphically dominated games that threatens to send this business in another bubble and bankruptcy despite a more globalized world. neither of these games were a hit nor popular back in the day and you will never see them in these new arcade bars and buffet places you see open up here and there around the country. Not many people would be willing to drop fifteen dollars and play this game in a room of classics and I don't believe Brookfield's own Galloping Ghost arcade even has this in their store. Frenzy was available on the old colecovision and the neighborhood kids played this often for a few months after its release around 1983. This game would not even get a five minute download on a phone these days it is still so bad and pointless but they are often mentioned in old classic arcade talk on the internet.
