There are lots of FPS games out there--I'd love to see more side scrollers because if I want action, all I have to do is go forward in the game and find some, where in an FPS game you have to look through all kinds of rooms and maybe find a new one once in a while. I like FPS games, but I do wish there were more side scrollers. There is an Atari game I used to like where the Adats ran toward your base and you were in a ship, and enemy ships were all around. It was a side scroller, but you could go up and down a little to shoot the ships which were not all positioned the same vertically. Also, you had to stop the ship's horizontal movement and go down to restock weapons at the base. Sometimes, the star wars theme song would play and you'd be going very fast and shooting faster too, and it only took one hit to blow up a ship instead of the ten it usually took. I miss that game, even though I never really could play it well as a blind person. Also, I'd like to be able to play Donkey Kong, and though I know it's not a side scroller, frogger. Qbert would be interesting too. Ken Downey President DreamTechInteractive!
