Favorite Sidescroller?

[SextusMaximus]

Probably the online Platformer: Don't look back.

That game is epic, certainly one of my favourites... that's aside from the Mario platformers.

 

[Huupertti]

I'm a sucker for the Castlevania series, but that aside... hmm... a nice obscure but good side-scroller eh?

Rocket Knight Adventures, which has possibly the best premise for a game *EVER*:

I'll have to agree with this guy... And sonic 3 is one of my favourites too.

 

[The_Spirit_of_Epic]

obviously my favorite is gunna be the game that introduced me into gaming at the age of three, super mario bros. for nes

 

[Infinatex]

No one has mentioned Ghouls 'n Ghosts! I love that game! And Bionic Commander on Amiga too.

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

I'd have to say, Earthworm Jim.
It was the most fun I had playing a game when I was younger.

 

[Nazulu]

Well if SSB Melee includes as a side-scroller then that, but if not probably Super Metroid.

 

[e2density]

Super Mario World for NES.
Obviously

Fail! Super Mario World was for the SNES, not the NES.

FAIL! We are talking about a very old video game and I doubt anyone cares that I said NES (except for you...), I think they know what I meant.

 

[Mortons4ck]

Toss up between Metal Slug and Braid (unless you don't consider Braid a side-scroller).

 

[TheRealJustSean]

Would Abe's Oddysey count as a side scroller? It's more of a side bumper, but it's still the best at that.

Abe's Oddysey it is.

Agreed. Even to this day I still pine for that game.
