hmm side scrollers are things like metal slug, the old uhhh, streets of fury i think it was on the genesis(sega mega drive) i think thats what it was called lol, the original duke nukem's, Secret agent sam, etc. You basicly control a character through an enviroment from the side moving through a level, kinda like worms witch is almost a strategy/side scroller I supose.
For me its Strategy games and RPG, and FFT for bein both

Gotta love it. Or Desiga for random making me laugh all the way through.
