After much looking around, I've concluded that Jets'n'Guns is the sweetest side-scroller in existence. This game is so freaking badass. Loads of weapons and upgrades for ship, huge explosions, almost everything destructible, amazing metal-electro soundtrack, bombings, tanks, little guys with jetpacks.
Any contestants?
Einhander (couldn't find any good music vids for it, though. :()
Wielding twin Vulcan cannons, in this game, is a thing of beauty. Haha.
I've never played Jets 'n Guns, though. Looks awesome.
Gradius V was pretty damn good.
Metal Slug FTW
Anyone know where I can play free games like Jets'n'Guns?
Any game Kenta Cho makes. (I suggest Gunroar, but they're all interesting). Also, Warning Forever.Quote:

Cave story.
Contra 2 Alien Wars ftw
Raptor: Call of the shadows is the best scrolling-fighter game ever. I like the top-down kind more anyways.
