StaceyPowers Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I don’t think we have a topic on here about side-scrollers/2D games. This is a genre I don’t know much about, especially in terms of modern games. What are your favorite side-scrollers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 The only 2-D game I currently play is Final Fantasy Record Keeper for Android and to be fair, it's one of the better mobile games. Yes, it has microtransactions but you don't really need it to be successful. you just have to be smart with your resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m76 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 (edited) I ain't a big fan of the genre, I mean I've played them too in the past, but only because we didn't have anything better. Nowadays you couldn't sit me down in front of a side scroller for more than five minutes. No matter how artsy fartsy. To me modern side scrollers are akin to the games trying to mimic 8bit computer graphics. To me those efforts mean nothing, let the past be the past. My favorite side scroller was probably Another World, which was remade a few years ago, but even that couldn't get me back to playing.

They were pretty good games at the time because it was what's trending those period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are already advanced too much in graphics segment, people will not prefer to play 2d games anymore. I remember playing games like Mario brothers, Contra force, Ninja turtles in 2D videos games, that was around 2010. These were nostalgic memories really.

The Blackangel Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I grew up in the 80's and still remember Atari 2600 being the cutting edge of home technology. I remember microwaves and VCR's being something that only the lucky and the rich could afford to buy. I remember cassettes being played on a Walkman. I remember the video game crash of the early 80's. And I remember the explosion of the mid 80's when the NES hit the western market and saved the entire video game industry. Everyone wanted one. I had a Colecovision and didn't appreciate it at the time. How foolish I was. But the NES brought video games to a new height, that no one ever would have thought possible if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes. We went from 2 bit graphics, straight into 8 bit graphics. We also went straight into some of the absolute best games ever released. It's part of the reason I'm a classic gamer, but won't go anywhere near any of the flashback bullshit or emulators, as I feel like a traitor and literally sick to my stomach at the though of using either. I'm not coming down on anyone who prefers either. To each their own. 4) The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. But I personally can't use either. I use the original systems designed by said company (Nintendo, Atari, Sega, etc.) and the original cartridges. Sure performing brain surgery on a 35 year old NES can get tedious every time you want to play a game, but it's worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I wonder if the dead cell like games would fall into the side scrollers? In that case I have few that I can list out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had plans to play those games back in the days when men were boys but I never got to and it's highly unlikely that it would happen again.

Why not? You should try them, you might like those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually considering it and if by my maths it pans out in the favor of trying it out, then I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
