  1. (video games) A shoot 'em up video game.
    • 1989, "Silkworm" (video game review) in Crash (issue 66, pages 24-25)
      As destruction games go, Silkworm is fine. It's definitely a bit easy (I completed it after a dozen goes), but if you find the normal level of blast-'em-ups too difficult, this one should be rewarding. The two-player option is brilliant (one takes control of the jeep and the other the helicopter) and increases the addictivity.
