I don’t know about you but the side-scrolling platformer wasn't just a genre, it was the genre for most of my childhood. The games that got it right were the ones that kept ushering you forward—to the right—even when it only seemed to be getting tougher.
There is probably some life lesson or allegory in there somewhere. This video with its nice editing and great music does a good job of highlighting that.
