A side-scrolling game, side-scroller or 2D is a video game in which the gameplay action is viewed from a side-view camera angle, and the onscreen characters generally move from the left side of the screen to the right (or less commonly, right to left) to meet an objective. These games make use of scrolling computer display technology. The move from single-screen or flip-screen graphics to scrolling graphics, during the golden age of video arcade games and during third-generation consoles, would prove to be a pivotal leap in game design, comparable to the move to 3D graphics during the fifth generation.
A common use of the side-scrolling format is in the platform game genre. Platform games are action games that feature jumping, climbing, and running characters who must be guided through many diverse levels. Games such as Super Mario Bros. are among the most famous side-scrollers of this type.
The side-scrolling format is also popular among beat 'em ups, such as the popular Battletoads series. Side-scrolling is even used in certain role-playing video games such as the 2D Castlevania: Symphony of the Night or the Korean MMORPG MapleStory. Often in beat 'em ups the screen will scroll to a certain point then stop and require the enemies on screen to be defeated before it moves on.
A video game is an electronic game that involves human interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device such as a TV screen or computer monitor. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but it now implies any type of display device that can produce two- or three-dimensional images. Video games are sometimes believed to be a form of art, but this designation is controversial.
The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from large mainframe computers to small handheld computing devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while common in the 1980s, have gradually declined in use due to the widespread availability of home video game devices (e.g., PlayStation 4 and Xbox One) and video games on desktop and laptop computers and smartphones.
The input device used for games, the game controller, varies across platforms. Common controllers include gamepads, mouses, keyboards, joysticks, the touchscreens of mobile devices and buttons. In addition to video and (in most cases) audio feedback, some games include haptic, vibration or force feedback peripherals.

Let me know your favourites in the comments! Noticed after uploading that the sound for no. 10 is very low, so apologies in advance.
►Top 10 Platform Games (Games like Mario or Sonic) for PC DESCRIPTION ▼▼▼▼▼ ►A platform game (or platformer) is a type of video game, and a subgenre of action game. It involves guiding a player character or avatar to jump between suspended platforms and/or over obstacles to traverse their environment. The player controls the jumps to avoid letting their character fall to their death or miss necessary jumps. The most common unifying element of games of this genre is the jump button, but now there are other alternative like swiping a touchscreen.

I picked this up off Steam today. FANTASTIC Indy game, and one of the best Side-scroller games I've played. I'll be documenting this game every time I play it till the end. No voice over commentary, just game.
This is a new type of tutorial I am starting which takes a more realistic approach to learning. Showing that I don't know everything and thus hopefully allowing you all to learn with me. This video coves the first major step to developing any game which is to make a working prototype which then can be used as the base for future versions.

Verse:
Its 4 am I'm still sitting in front of my TV set
Beep Beep Beep .. I push the button on my joypad
I've been playing this game since the day still young
My head starts to feel dizzy I can go blind
But I can't turn it off, but I can't turn it off
Reff:
I'm stuck in this videogame
And I cant get out I cant get out
I'm freakin' out I'm screamin' out loud
But nobody can hear me nobody can help me out
(back to Verse, Reff)
Nobody can help me out
Nobody can save me
I just want to get out
