what do you think are the best sidescrollers out there?? an idea just popped (not pooped) in my head. it would be cool to make one featuring a rockhopper penguin that tries to save Antarctica from a bunch of...uhh...badasses. he would do kung fu as well as house a hansome assortment of futuristic weapons. sadly, i lack the programming essentials, so it's all just wishful thinking. well, i could do the music score ;) besides that, my fave sidescrollers are the Megaman games, Mario games, Earthworm Jim, and Bionic Commando (NES) |

My fave side scrollers are from the 16 bit era. SNES Contra III (YES!) Castlevania 4 and X Super Metroid (not a traditional side scroller per se, but the perspective is there) Lost Vikings Super Ghouls and Ghosts Zombies Ate My Neighbours! Donkey Kong Country 1-2-3 Super Mario World of course! Yoshi's Island, hideously underrated because the SNES was pretty much dead by that time. Brawl Brothers Super Double Dragon Kirby Superstar Genesis Gunstar Heroes Vectorman 1-2 Sonic 1-2-3-Knuckles Streets of Rage 1-2-3 (not so much 3...) Revenge of Shinobi/Shinobi 3 (NOT Shadowdancer, blech) Rolling Thunder 2-3 Contra Hard Corps Castlevania Bloodlines Rocketknight/Sparkster Flashback So many more, ugh... I agree with -V-, Viewtiful Joe looks great, nice throwback to the old school. Capcom showing that they still care. Ninja Gaiden was DEFINITELY one of the best! Can't believe we've gone so long without one... it's 3D now, for Xbox, and I'm worried. |

Out of all of those I think I'd pick Flashback and the Genesis/Mega Drive Sonic series of games. Always amazes me how they created so much kickass art out of a tiny palette with a handfull of colours in any of those 16-bit console games. The Zen Art Of Pixelpushing indeed. |

Oooh ooh, and my all time favourite arcade game: Final Fight! I guess I can't omit Streets Of Rage either. Hours of multiplayer fun. Hmm, speaking of which, many many moons ago I used to be a game on the Genesis which was totally brilliant, but I really cant recall it's name. All my sketchy memory remembers is that it was something about a Computer or a Virtual game or something that had gone wrong (possibly), and it consisted of lots of overhead 'screens' where you picked up a new person on every one who had an individual skill that you used for getting to the next level (or something). One of the guys had a bazooka. It kicked ass. Er, does this ring a bell for anyone? |

the best sidescrolling games (or just video games in general) are the sonic the hedgehog games on genesis and sega cd. i recently took out my sega genesis + cd and have been playing these games everyday, especially sonic 3 + knuckles (i rarely play video games so this is a lot). |
