Oddworld

mario.

megaman

Oh man, I'll have to think about this one, titles that quickly come to mind are Terraria and Waking Mars

Super Star Wars

Megaman

Super Meat Boy is kind of a sidescroller, so maybe it :D

I've been playing games on various systems for over 20 years now. Far too many great games to narrow it down to just one.

La-Mulana/Super Meat Boy/Cave Story/Dustforce/Mark of the Ninja.

I just can't choose. :P

Contra 3 is my favorite side scroller of all time and one of my favorite games of all time.

Shank 2 or Limbo

Super Metroid

duke nukem manhattan project.

Megaman X saga (exept X7... what the fuck was that?)

Thanks for the replies, I'm printing this out to check out some of the ones I haven't heard of.

Rayman legends.

Of recent games, I really enjoyed Shadow Complex. As for ever, I'd have to put some serious thought into that one.

Awesomenauts, They Bleed Pixels, Thomas Was Alone, Gish, Aquaria, the like.

EDIT: Also Lunnye Devitsy. Great games, all of them.

I'd say Limbo.

Does the Trine series count?

Shank 2 and Mark of the Ninja

Iji, JetsNGuns

Double Dragon 2!

Ducktales
