Re: I'm bored, can you recommend an easy to play side scroller?
Well first just in case you didn't know, you can use the "search games" link to search the db by genre, one of those genres is side scrollers.
One of the problems with side scrollers is that there is a spate for a lot of people trying out their first programming exercises to create side scrollers as practice projects. This means side scrollers tend to be either A, short practice games, B, very classic old windows games that might have problems running on a modern machine, or C, modern side scrollers by people like Vgstorm who are trying to buck the system and create something actually complex in a side scrolling environment.
If you can get it to run properly on modern windows I'd suggest Superliam, it is a classic with some wonderfully amusing acting, and is now abandonware, and shouldn't be too hard to finish.
Were it not currently owned by the leasy corporation I'd advise as a really humerous action game.
with pipe 2 by Bs c, which is not primarily a side scroller but does have some rather cool side scrolling levels.
If you want something short and very synimatic, try Angel gift by erion soft. It's not a long or difficult game (accept the boss), but is worth playing for atmosphere alone.
there is then adventure at C;by Vgstorm. it was their first game and has rough edges, but is imho far more forgiving than the gate, it's also free and has extra level packs created if you can find them.
Lastly, I will strongly recommend crazy party.
Again, not a side scroller entirely, but featuring a lot of side scrolling minigames which range from very easy to extremely tricky, in a lot of themed worlds with other challenges, indeed if you asked me what is imho the best action/arcade game we've seen thus far I'd say crazy party, and not just for the online mode or even for the battle card game, brilliant though both of those aspects are, the actual arcade and other challenges in the different worlds vhugely fun to play on their own.
