SHoot-eM-UP. Usually vertically scrolling with a top-down perspective or side-scrolling with a side-on view, though there are forays into isometric and 3D. Most involve skillful dodging of beautifully mathematical sprays of glowing bullets.
Some of the most famous include Gradius, Raiden and Xevious. I personally have a soft spot for Battle Garegga and ViewPoint.
