The term you're all looking for is "rail shooter"
Silpheed's conversion for SegaCD was a little disappointing for me. The original game on PC(-88)/Amiga/Apple IIgs was an odd-duck vertical shmup with some sprite-scaling fake perspective and a top-10-of-all-time soundtrack, and the SegaCD version was essentially StarFox, they didn't even keep the music.
