Arguably, Space Griffon VF-7.  First-generation PSX corridor maze
shooter title that looks and plays like a 16-bit CD-ROM title, with a
lot of voice acting to match.  I say "deliberate" because icing most
enemies usually involves creeping up on them until they're in view,
then blasting them without retaliation because you're too far away. 
I'm sure there are at least a dozen others.

Terrence Briggs, who's still kind of intrigued by SG VF-7, even if the
exprience is rather crude

Peace to you...
