In this thread we talk about excellent games for the pc that are side scrolling action run and gun: adventure/shooters/rpgs (playable on xp). Some great ones ive found, some of these are free:
Jazz Jackrabbit 2
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project (I F*CKING LOVE THIS GAME, GREAT 2d shooter with amazing weapons and great boss fights and level design, its a 2d/3d hybrid)
Noitu Love 1 + 2
Captain Claw (This game rocks! and it's abandonware now too, you can get it and some great stuff to go with it from here: http://www.kapitanpazur.piasta.pl/en/downloads.html . check out the whole site, its great stuff)
This game isnt 2d but its a shooter/rpg hybrid thats free and indie : Survival Crisis Z
Abuse (great game, uses mouse and keyboard to move and shoot in a 2d plane)
La Mulana
Akuji The Demon
Some of the games by indie developer Ikiki
post more names so that way forum members who like cave story have some other games like it to check out too. i love cave story but i also love playing games like it, as im sure most people on here do!
