What particular game got you into shooters. I don't mean stuff like GALAGA (though that spurred me along to) but an actual vertically scrolling or horizontally scrolling shooter game. I'm not asking what you're first shooter experience was, but rather what game changed you in that magical moment to being an avid follower of the genre.
Me the game that got me hooked for life was in 1987 when I walked into a Cajun restaurant in SATX and played...
though I had played 1942 before it, and had played everything from Galaga onto Alpha Mission (ASO) and Defender and what not. CAPCOM's 1943 just got everything right to me. Probably wasted $5.00 in quarters that afternoon. From that point on Shooters were my one of 3 top favorite genres in gaming.
