What are your top 3 all time side scroller best em up games/franchises? Also, has anyone made any new ones in a retro style?
-
Streets of Rage (spent many hours playing that on my Genesis)
-
Double Dragon
-
X-Men 2 for PC (obscure choice but it was cool because they had different X-men to pick).
Honorable mention to the game within a game from the Warriors PS2 video game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series. It consists of the original, its sequel, Turtles in Time, and I guess you could consider the recent Shredder's Revenge as part of it as well (it IS a spiritual successor).
The Simpsons (the arcade game from the 90s)
River City Ransom series.
River City Ransom was a lot of fun on PC. TMNT and Simpsons were the classic arcade machine games that you could drop a lot of quarters into.
There were three NES Turtles games unless you're not counting 1 because of the vehicle segments.
I was referring to the two arcade games, plus the more recent one released on everything.
