Rail-Shooters
The following games are Rail-Shooters in the same style as games like Space Harrier, Panzer Dragoon, or Sin & Punishment. In these games you control a character that you can move around on-screen to dodge enemy projectiles. Or in some games, like Rez, you control only a targeting reticule only but you still have your character on-screen.
I'm trying to focus on games that got a home console/handheld release so not all games will make it.

Light-Gun Rail-Shooters
This section focuses on Light-Gun Rail-Shooters, much like the House of the Dead series. In these games you have a first-person perspective and use a light-gun controller to shoot enemies. The game guides you automatically throughout the levels as if you're riding "on-rails", hence the term.
This list focuses on games that got home console releases.
