My favorite is definately Donkey Kong Country (the first one) for SNES. Surprisingly now when I think about it I like that game more than most 3d games I've played, maybe even more than all the 3d games I've played. Every time I think about the game it makes me want to buy another Super Nintendo and the Donkey Kong game.
3 or 4 years ago my SNES didn't work any more and I threw out all my games with it (what a stupid thing to do!). Now I look at some of these games on eBay and see that they're all worth like 10 bucks each! I had about 11-12 games.

My vote would go to some Metroid game or another, or perhaps Final Fantasy VI. Though if you're talking Side-Scroller, definetely Metroid something. Since it's not on there, my vote must go to Tetris. Not because of its great qualities as a game, but because it's practically the first game ever that spawned all kinds of other "emulations" of it that never live up to it, and it's just so darn addicting (at least for me).
-
I never liked tetris that much (probably because I suck at it). I've always been more into scrolling games with lots of action. I've played Metroid Prime Hunter (or something like that) before on my friend's Nintendo DS. In that game you just run around touching all the enemies with the "stick" to shoot them. That's the only Metroid game I've played before.
-
Hmm, never played anything on the DS before. I'm talking about the originals, and on the GameCube.
-
as much as i love tetris (and believe me, i do) my vote goes towards other games, in sepcific the first 2 sonic games (for genesis), legend of zelda (for gb), and both kirby's dreamlands (also gb). i guess my game was a little sonic-inspired, it was actually my first real console
-
Zelda games are awesome! I have The Legend of Zelda : A Link to the Past/Four Swords for GBA, I've beaten three times. My cousin is letting me borrow his gamecube and he's got Zelda Windwaker. I'm about half way through it. I also like Kirby games. The only one I've ever actually played is Nightmare in dreamland (for GBA). I was so close to beating it. I got through all of the levels and was on the last boss and I died. The thing that sucks about that game when you get to the end is that each time you wanna get to the final boss you have to defeat two other bosses (King Dedede and some moon boss dude that takes like ten minutes to beat).
-
I like all 2d games :) well almost all.
My favorites are pretty close to durnurds, FF, Super Metroid. Actually I just started playing through super metroid again last week sometime. STill fun eventhough I've probably played through it 8 or so times.
-
Well...finally a decent descussion! I'd have to say Super Metroid pretty much kicks ass. Same with all the final fantasies and especially Chrono Trigger. Man that game is outstanding. Another favorite RPG of mine is definitely Earthbound. Can't wait!!
-
I've got to agree with you there. Chrono Trigger and Earthbound were two of my favorite 2d games. Super Mario World was probably my favorite platformer. Mainly because I'm just a fan of secret exits.
-
Oh, yeahm Chrono Trigger. That was a good one. I had forgotten about it. Probably beacuse I was trying to think of platforming games rather than 2D in general. The mario games were pretty good, and had a definite replayability value to them, but I enjoy the Metroid games more. Probably because of the consistency of the world. It's all one huge map. There's no "World Map" that you go to other levels from, and it was just a lot more involved as far as figuring out puzzles goes. In Mario, the most puzzling thing you do is find out which pipe you have to go down. And that one castle where there's ten doors in a row... not fun.
-
You were trying to only metion 2D Sidescrollers, yet you mentioned the Final Fantasy games? Huh? ???
trust me, in your post, you mentioned more non-platforming games then platforming. ;)
-
I've never played Chrono Trigger but I hear of it a lot. Sounds like it's fun. The only Final Fantasy games I've played are Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XI for PS2. They're pretty fun but it takes a while to figure out.
-
No, I wasn't only trying to mention side-scrollers. I was only thinking about side scrollers, and since Final Fantasy is such an all-encompasing part of my life, I couldn't not think about that game too. And does it really matter? Do you really have to go back and analyze everything I say?
-
heh, no I'm just fooling with you Durnurd.
-
I agree with durnurd and hebedaymun; super metroid is probably my favorite.
-
commander keen was a freakin' sweet game for its time (think its still downloadable on some dos archive thingy)
-
wuts that game halo was based off of ???
mighty man or something?

i know the feeling... i did 2, and it was just the power plug... ohhhh DKC...
-
mmm... was first Larry a 2d game? Metroid was GREAT (specially the end, if you make a lot of score, Metroid put of dress and you have a big surprise -and probably you'll restart the game to make a better score).
Wonderboy (the first)... and Kid Icarus...
But I think the first Atari games are the best!!
Ex.:

I played a bit of metroid...it was alright, kindof hard though, i would of been better if I still had my SNES and was able to play it on that, the controls feel weird on a keyboard. Never played any of he other games you mentioned, except ofcourse Pong...good times...lol.
Here's something different:
The first game ever created was made in 1958 by William Higinbotham.
The first version of Pong/Tennis/Hockey/ect... called 'Tennis for Two'
Played on an oscilloscope.
I dont know if Ive posted that before or not..w/e

What, no one here liked Target: Earth? To this day that's one of my favorite side-scrollers ever, simply because the art was cool, you actually had ALLIES fighting beside you (no more one man vs an army) and I'm a sucker for run-and-gun games.
I mean, the 8th stage had you flying through space fighting other mecha with a backdrop of a giant Earth fleet of ships (probably in the range of 20 or ships including the command ship which was like... 3 screens long) vs a fleet of alien ships (even more ships and a mothership that was 6 screens wide or something) all of whom were firing at each other while their respective mecha fought in their shadows.
Flying through stage 8 with capital ships blasting away on all sides and you, your buddies and the enemy all dogfighting while it goes on is STILL one of my best game experiences in a side-scrolling game... Target: Earth just felt truly epic, especially in that last space battle stage.

LOST MAGIC (nintendo DS) !!!
-
ive come to realize how much i love scorched earth based games...
-
MARIO is awesome! And with new super mario bros its even better! i am a hard core Nintendo fan! PS where can i get a Wii, ive been callling Wal-Mart for weeks and theyre startin 2 get mad at me...
-
On the commodore 64, i loved 'Son of blagger' and 'Monty mole' by Antony Crowther. I would like to remake son of blagger on pc. I am currently analyzing 'Scrolling Game Development Kit' and 'Game maker' to see how to do this remake.
-
for me, it would be any game that has the name "mario" in it. the best of all of them is Yoshi's island (SMA3) and Mario and Luigi Superstar saga. best of all is the original Super Mario Bros.
-
oh.. theres a poll, i didnt know *clicks on mario radio button*
-
anyone ever play flashback or another world? they are!
-
I think I played Another World a long time ago, but I don't remember what system it was on. What system(s) is it available for? I was at someone else's house. It could have been an Amiga 500 or a Nintendo.
