We should probably just have a sticky for these, it comes up so much :D

The local YMCA at one time had a vertical-monitor scrolling shmup, I think it was in a convert-a-cab. The most memorable part of it is every time you would pick up a powerup this obnoxious voice would say "POWER IT UP!!!" or something like that. I don't remember too much about the game... something about a Donpachi-style laser as a bomb? Dunno, think I was 12 at the time.
 
i remembered playing some shooter recently that said "POWER UP!" but then i recalled it's Blazing Star (Neo Geo) which isn't vertical but horizontal.

Yeah, I distinctly remember there being a third syllable in there like "POWERING UP" or "POWER IT UP". And the monitor was definitely vertical. It caught my eye because I had never seen that kind of thing before, at the time.
