No gameplay-based scroll allowed! I'm sure these have a name, but whatever. Just post your favorites and recommendations

>"comical action games" (CAGs) in Japan
Who thought of this term? At least its not shit like "belt scroller". Snow Bros is fucking RAD they get all the bitches.
Don Doko Don is cool. Play as a garden gnome and beat shit up with a hammer. Taito is the undisputed king of this subgenre.
>>3944774
Don Doko Don made a cameo in Bubble Symphony and Pop'n Pop
Nightmare in the Dark for Neo Geo. If I had the cash, I'd love a cart of this
>/vr/ still never posts their custom levels for this game
>or any game with a level editor for that matter
>>3944849
Came here to endorse this one. One of my favorites.
>>3944724
what about single screen puzzle games? They can be pretty similar and cute.
Bubble Bobble niggers.
>>3944930
Bub & Bob
Female Super Drunk is sexy!
Make the bub bubs bounce.
>>3944992
Also, Tumblepop was another fun game of that small genre. I think there were two games.
>>3944992
Does SquareEnix own all Taito properties? At least Zuntata are still releasing music albums.
>>3945028
Well they're fully owned by Squeenix now.
But it's fucking SquareEnix.
Best music coming thru

They're called screensylvanias.
Donkey Kong is the greatest CAG of all time.
>>3944849
Pang and clones.
>>3945057
maybe Donkey Kong '94 for super gameboy.
>>3945049
yOU MEAN SCREENTROIDS
Also, I like the original Pengo (not the bomberman clone on Mega Drive)
>>3945108
>scrolling
Nice try.
Still even some of the single screen maps were cool. I loved trying to beat those as fast as I could.
>>3945115
I do enjoy a little scrolling if its still just a single level/map.
Rainbow Islands - Putty's Loli Party

>>3945134>the character artist also draws hentai btw
>>3944849
Another endorsement for this one. The music is fucking rad, too.

I can't read jap.
Does that intro actually explain who Putty is?
>they didn't call her patty
Huh.
Also, I'm guessing she might technically be Betty or Patty?
>>3945526
hmmmm well the box calls her パティー which is "Patty" in Japanese. I dunno the plot. Maybe they thought Putty sounded cuter?
>>3945003
Holy shit, it's been 14 years since I last played this game on an arcade machine but I didn't know what it was called. It reminded me a lot of ghostbusters and I loved it. Thanks for this post anon!

>>3945112
The superior original MSX Castlevania had no scrolling, so it kind of makes sense here
>>3944849
>>3944901
>>3945252
Always thought this one was too much of a Snow Bros ripoff, with a simple early-2000s-japanese-Tim-Burtonesque-obsession paint coat; it even has the same 3 powerups.
But the visuals and music *are* pretty neat, though the main characters are pretty boring and forgettable
ULTRA BALLOON !

Well they have to for the Darius games
But just know one of the biggest composers of Zunata left before the first Dariusburst.
Still had great music though
Zupapa, motherfuckers. Easily one of the best Neogeo games that isn't Metal Slug or a shitty fighter.
>>3945003
Tumblepop is great to play with your girlfriend.
I Iove that you can go down the platforms with Down + Jump button
>>3944724
One of my favorite genres are the very rare single-screen racers, like Super Off-Road. Might not exactly be what you are looking for, but since I'll never be able to get a dedicated thread going, I'll have to mention them here.
http://wiki.selectbutton.net/genre:single-screen_racers
Bubble Bobble
Diet Go Go
Snow Bros.
Everything else is superfluous or clunky.
>>3944724
Bomb Jack
How has no one mentioned Mario Bros.?
>>3944724
Solomon's Key is good happy times.
Battle City
Joust and Balloon Fight
Why nobody posted Pang! yet?
>>3947519
Because you can't read the thread.

Excellent game. Zipang on PCE is a great remake
Rodland is adorable and got a lot of good ports.
>>3944724
>>3946250
I love that game but it gets pretty hard. Those spinning mandrills fuck me up (when starting the game on the default level).
>>3949654
This game is comfy as hell
Also Nuts & Milk
The Fairyland Story

>Nuts & Milk
how do you milk a nut?
>>3949741
That's like asking "How do you milk a cookie?".
Do these count?

You can milk cookies?
Admittedly not better than Bubble Bobble or Snow Bros, but I think they count.
