Usually characterized with rather open environments but not quite on the level of open world.

Generally does not include side-scrollers, though as cave flyers testify, this is not absolute rule.

The first Multi-directional shooter video game was released in 1982.

Electronic Arts, Virgin and Ocean published most of these games.
