Linear 2D games where you mainly travel from right to left or from top to bottom

Just posted about Army Moves in another thread and then realized that nearly half the game you’re travelling from right to left.

Just remembered another one: Atari Games’ 1985 arcade game Road Runner.

Visited HG101 today and read about a Konami arcade game I had never heard of before: Pandora’s Palace. It’s a Donkey Kong-style platformer where you start at the top of the screen and travel to the bottom.

Those are little golden Moai.

Yeah, I checked your Moai website beforehand to see if you had already added this game, and of course you had!

Psygnosis’ Walker is another game where you exclusively travel from right to left, unlike most sidescrollers.
