Botss Wiki

Welcome to the Botss Wiki

The Bottom Of The Screen Shooter was one of the earlier video game genres ever and is still quite popular to this day. This wiki celebrates and explores BOTSS games, along with any platforms, programmers and other personnel that create, publish, or hack BOTSS games.

So far, there are 177 articles about bottom of the screen shooters since July 25, 2012, ya got that?! No First Person Shooters, no sports games, no RPGs, no multi-directional shooters, none of that!

In Not really asteroids, the player controls a ship that must destroy hordes of aliens that descend from the top of the screen. During a game, several aliens will appear in vertical columns and start descending downwards towards the player while firing. Each alien takes several hits before being destroyed. The player, meanwhile, starts a game with five hearts, which being hit by an alien’s missile will take away a heart. If the player’s ship collides with an alien then that will take away three hearts and the game will end when the player is totally depleted of hearts. (More can be read here.)

It can be confusing to new users to wikis in regards to submitting new pages, but it's fairly simple for creating new pages for the most part. Most situations for submitting new material to this wiki in particular will usually include:

Writing about a game. In order to create a write-up about a game, programmer or gaming platform that does not have a page yet, users can perform a Search (at top, slightly right of center) for the subject you wish to create an article on to see if it exists yet, or click on the Add new page icon (at the top, to the right of the total amount of pages currently on this wiki), which you will be taken to a new page and you can start typing to your heart's content.

If there are any questions, either leave them on this discussion page or this wiki's founder's page. There's also the How to write an article page (as mentioned earlier) to read up on formatting for this wiki in particular.

Thanks, and good luck with writing and editing!

And stay at the bottom!
