    Beat-Em-Ups...the term itself, a construct. Did we just call them 'fighting games' before Street Fighter II happened? I can't remember anymore. The advent of the FPS forced us to come up with the term Shoot-em-up (shmup), since they hijacked the generic 'shooter'.

      I always categorize Street Fighter and its ilk as "VS. Fighting Games", and Final Fight and its ilk "Beat-em-ups".  It's hard to get the proper nomenclature figured out.

      Just like shooters are now retroactively shoot 'em ups

      Yeh, I guess Golden Axe was and still is my go to "walk along and beat people up" games.
