* Center-grip shields under various names are used offensively in martial arts from Turkey, Iran, the Indian sub-continent and the Malay archipelago including the Philipines. Uses include striking, trapping, distraction, unbalancing and levering the opponent's shield out of the way.
* European fighting manuals from the Middle Ages through the seventeenth century or so include similar techniques. How these were actually applied is a matter of reconstruction and speculation

* Possible in ''DwarfFortress'', though the shield is treated as an ImprovisedWeapon and thus uses the "Misc. Object User" skill instead of the "Shield User" skill (which is just for blocking).

Ironically, he never uses it to defend, even when using the Guard command, he rather blocks incoming attacks with his ''bare hands''.

* VandalHearts (2, at least) has shields as a weapon category. It does what it's supposed to do: attacks coming from the side of the shield has a significantly higher chance to be blocked. Two shields however, have spikes to increase damage. One of them gives you a movement handicap since it's too heavy, while the other is practically an [[InfinitePlusOneSword Infinity Plus One Shield]].

* Shields are awesome in FrontMission 3 anyway, and the ShieldBash ability is one of the most damaging melee attacks in the game. Of course, the bashing is being done by a GiantMecha the size of a building.

** The Raptor class in ''FinalFantasyTacticsA2'' can do this in the typical way, which can also inflict [[StandardStatusEffects Disable]]. Hilariously, the weapon that teaches them this move is a ''two-handed'' [[{{BFS}} sword]]. You can't actually ''use'' the move when wielding it, unless you took the time to learn Monkey Grip, to wield two-handed swords with one hand, leaving the other free for shields.
