Vertically Scrolling Yoko Games

[HydrogLox]

I mean are there even horizontally scrolling vertical games other than scramble?

Unsurprisingly "Scramble's" sequel "Super Cobra" - games this topic is most certainly not about (seems wrong to shoehorn a hori into a vertical cab - I doubt there weren't enough horizontal cabs).

Also, vertizontal is no more stupid sounding than "shmup,"

I wasn't going to go there

Zanac is 1986, and is a vertical scrolling yoko game. Knightmare, also 1986, is also one. I imagine whatever game came up with the concept was probably an MSX game (like the 2 mentioned).

What about River Raid?

Arcade versions of Salamander, Life Force (Japanese version), and Salamander 2 all have vert stages.
