We continue our coverage about different perspectives of RPGs today - this time we talk about games in a side scrolling perspective.

RPGs that are displayed from a side view are quite rare, but I was able to dig up some examples from old to new. I had my first side scrolling (action) RPG experience with Wonder Boy in Monster Land, although this one was still more of an action game. Wonder Boy in Monster World then was a true action RPG, which I liked a lot.

It looks especially cool when you travel through the world and see some special areas in the background coming closer every new screen - it's a pity that there are not more games with this technology.
