You don't see too many of them, but does anyone have a list of scrollers that only move to the left, or at least move primarily to the left? Moving only to the right side is so primitive, but that's still rampant even in today's games.
If you think about it, most people do everything to one side, even if they don't notice it... they park on one side, favor one hand, etc. Does anyone else feel "weird" when they play a game that scrolls left? By weird I mean like you don't have as much coordination as you may on the right side? Scrollers that move left have a different feel IMHO, and it's a good mental excersize. Making more games move leftwards could also make the game more challenging. So, what are your favorite games that do this? I remember only seeing one recently, and it was a Famicom game similar to R-Type, but it's name escapes me now.
