The link to the German article is not correct, because "Side-Scrolling Beat ’em up" is not the German version of the sidescroller article. So I suggest that the link to the German article should be removed.
It seems to me like this page should be merged into Platform game Kamahl 11:31, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Has there ever been a side scroller that only moved from right to left? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.112.143 (talk) 14:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Although not the whole game, a Streets of Rage game, the first one I think. There are 8 levels, the first 7 scroll the typical left to right. But the final stage scrolled the opposite way, right to left; maybe to make it awkward for gamers that were really used to the left to right way. Carlwev (talk) 03:41, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
While I recognize that side-scrolling is an important concept in video game history, calling this a genre is crossing the line. Its a presentation foramat, but every game that can be classified as a side-scroller truly has a real genre to assign it to. There are platform games (yes -- anyone playing Super Mario Bros must admit that jumping from platform to platform to conquer enemies and get to the end of the level is the purpose. Side-scrolling is the format in which its presented, but Platform would be the genre), shooters (again, the point of Defender is shooting down all the enemies, not scrolling from side to side).
I've removed all references indicating that side-scrolling is a genre. The general quality of the article has not been touched other than to refer to side-scrolling as a format instead of a genre. Dawynn (talk) 00:47, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
The image Image:Jazz Jackrabbit gameplay.screenshot.png is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

I'm a bit surprised that there is no reference here to Commander Keen, the first smoothly scrolling game on the IBM PC platform... CodeCat (talk) 21:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Most of the "Use of side-scrolling" section is poorly written, and the content itself is mostly I feel not necessary for the article and/or stated somewhere else in the article. Also, there are literally no citations in the section. Overall, if the section isn't deleted, it needs to have a lot of work done on it. Any thoughts? FieryRaven (talk) 21:58, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
Seriously questioning my own video game knowledge right now, just wondering if anyone else is thinking this also 211.182.229.239 (talk) 01:28, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
You're not wrong, I feel like there should be a mention of platformers on the main page. Mario Stuff (talk) 02:06, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Are we really going to take that poorly researched and misinformed Guinness blurb as evidence of the first "smoothly scrolling PC game"? I mean, Snokie had smooth scrolling and that came out on the C64 in 1983, Trollie Wollie in 1984, Uuno Turhapuro Muuttaa Maalle in 1986, and that's only for the C64. The idiots who wrote that Guinness blurb clearly are way out of their depth in terms of their technical knowledge, and are objectively wrong by every metric. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FortunateSon222 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
