Is Moon Patrol the oldest game to combine both platforming elements and shmup elements?

>>	Anonymous Sat Feb 22 05:59:39 2020 No.6219102 >>6218958 A platformer is exactly what it is since it has a platform. You're probably making the common mistake of not calling a game with multiple platforms a platformser.
