No, there was 1942, but even that isn't the first of it's kind.<br><br>I'm not sure who exactly invented the "scrolling shooter", but it's a safe bet their influence was Galaga. Afterall, that's all the basic premise was, Galaga with more emphasis on attack waves and patterns, only repackaged with a scrolling background to, in effect, create a new genre.<br><br>The flanking enemies in TurjahII are great, but even that technique came from Galaga. <br><br>Still, Jimmy did a great job, and like Galaga, the fun is what counts.<br>
