    Default Best 2d Arcade Side Scrollers of all time

    I've compiled a list of the best 2d arcade side scrollers of all time.

    I want to know which one was your favorite

    Keep in mind these are only the beat em up ones
    So it doesnt include games with guns like Gunstar Heroes, Sunsetriders, or Contra

    My personal favorite was The Punisher because I loved picking up the guys and slamming them on their heads

    I said that it doesn't include contra because of the non stop gun shooting

    I guess I should have also included that these games are all very quick. Characters dont move slowly and are way more action packed than Double Dragon or Altered Beast

    Granted Altered Beast was one of my personal favorites... It was just a very slow moving game, kinda like Golden Axe or Knights of the Round

    I really miss Castlevania, Mega Man, and Bionic Commando. The list could get really long if I took some time to think about it.

    Defender.

    Edit: yes I know it doesn't meet the criteria. However, that game was so bad-ass it doesn't listen to your rules.

    The Punisher was my favorite. I always played as Nick Fury though. lol

    The Aliens vs. Predator arcade game was f*cking pimp as hell. Too bad it didn't get a good port to the SNES or Genesis.

    No kidding. I still remember the level where you're riding on top of the Truck/Van thing and you gotta keep firing at the aliens jumping at you. That sh*t was fun as hell. I wonder if there's still a machine somewhere.
