Many of the oldest computer games were shooters; the first arcade game was a shooter called Computer Space, a revamp to the original Spacewar! Additionally, Space Invaders, a 1978, shoot-em-up arcade game, has become a big hit and is known to many gamers.

In Japan, many people play shooters where the enemies shoot out multiple bullets at once. The bullets make patterns on the screen. This kind of shooter is called a barrage shooter, bullet hell game or a curtain fire shooter. It is also called by the Japanese name, danmaku. One of these games is Touhou. Another that combines bullet hell elements with an RPG is Undertale, a game released in 2015.
