Forums - Gaming Discussion - What are your favorite Side-Scrolling games!?

I'm addicted to Side-Scrolling games recently and just wanted to know what are you favorite Side-Scrolling games. (just incase i haven't played it)

 

Mine has to be Super Mario World. I love that game so much, and everytime i put it in my old SNES and play it, i feel all of my childhood memories smack me in my face xD. 

 

Yours?

Any of you guys play Panzer Bandit? It's Japan only, but It was one of my favorite beat-em-ups a few years ago. Now, it isn't my absolute favorite sidescrolling game, but I think it's worth mentioning.

Strider 2 is pretty great too. It totally blew me away when I was younger.

Ninja five-O: A solid game, through and through. I highly recommend it.

Last, but not least, Drill Dozer. Developed by Gamefreak. It may not be my all-time favorite GBA game, but it's darn close. I'm still waiting for Nintendo to release a sequel.

Super Mario Bros

Contra

Megaman

Terraria

Sonic

Duke Nuke 'Em
