Contra :D

Definately Contra.

(Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Start)

Old Game:
Bionic Commando

Relatively new game:
Tie between Super Metroid and Castelvania: Symphony of the Nights

I still play Contra too, can never get tired of that game. Contra on SNES was pretty cool too.

ninja gaiden, smb3, and strider (genesis version)

billarockstar, don't say bigdave's code is wrong. his is for 1 player, your's is for two players. ;)

--HN

my favorite side scroller is Super Mario Brothers.

billarockstar, we are both right, how dare you underestimate my Contra knowledge! ;)

Like Jack, I'd say Aliens vs Predator (available in Final Burn emulation), then the Metal Slug series and the Shock Trooper series (though that was more scrolling up most of the time) (neogeo emulation).

Tuan Jim

um....i dont know, maybe...:P
Ok, Ok....im sorry Big Dave, i will never doubt your contra knowledge again...so will we be seeing contra:2002 for the game cube or gba? Hmmmmmmmm BD? :)

I have no clue, since I am only master of the original Contra. :) Of course, seeing as the last couple Contra games have been sub-par, it would not seem likely, but you never know.

CASTLEVANIA: Symphony of the Night for the Playstation, best_damn old school game EVER !

Contra

shinobe!

What about jet games, like UN Squadron, Gradius III, Darius Twin, and R-Type?

Ghosts and Goblins! :p

Contra .... wow, I can't believe someone remembers the code!

Everyone I talk to remembers the code, probably for two reasons.
1. The game is pretty much impossible to solve without the extra men.
2. The code does not always take and must be preformed multiple times.

Lifeforce- the game takes place inside of someones body. I always thought that was rather disturbing (and a little gross).

1)Contra
2)Castlevania
3)Super Mario Bros.
4)Ghouls And Ghosts
5)Metal Slug

Super Mario Bros (any of them, 3 was the best though)
Castlevania (especailly Symphony of the Night)
Contra
Super Metroid

tons more.

Metal Slug (import for PS1)


...I keep looking for Metal Slug X (recently reviewed in the new EGM), but so far, I've been unsuccessful (might not be out yet tho ;)

Contra all the way.

Super Mario 2 - That game was just so damned weird. Go back and play it now. I really think Miyamuto was on crack when he thought up that one.
