What I'm looking for are something on rails, fast paced, typically shooter with bright neon graphics and techno/dubstep music where you're flying ''into'' the screen. Is there a name for these kind of games, can anyone think of any games like this?

The genre discussion is a fun one but "on rails"/"rails shooter" is the term most would use, everything else is just further descriptors. I don't know of any developers or sub styles that (compare say bullet hell in shmups or roguelike within dungeon crawlers) would really be said to exemplify that.

Alternatively a lot of earlier 3d functioned fairly similar so I could see comparing something like space harrier

to something like skitchin

or indeed street surfer

and road rash

before coming back to more recent times with something like lococycle


My personal term for that sort of thing is "race to the horizon" but that is just the one I use.

After doing some digging I was able to find games like Rez, Laserlife and Thumper. I'm interested to know what others there are and if anyone can recommend something similar
