Hi Niko, Actually, Dark Destroyer, Troopenum, Aliens In the Outback, Judgement Day, and other similar games are what is are called virtical scrollers. The idea that items are falling from the sky and you have to shoot them before they hit or land. Those types of games have trully been driven into the ground. Super Liam is a side-scroller, but lacks some of the more complex elements of newer side-scrollers or the complexity found in some of the classics. Contrary to popular thinking side-scrollers are still being produced such as Mario and Megaman which are a little more updated, better made than NES 1, series but still exist. It just happens the FPS games like Resident Evil happen to get more coverage, and perhaps sighted trends and desired have changed over the passed few years. Since this is a research project your opinions are valuable to me, but I would just like to say FPS games are light years more difficult to produce so going FPS all the way might not be possible unless you want games to come out over long periods of time.
