Entertainment / Video Games / Scroller: Also called a scrolling game. The onscreen display acts like a window onto a digital world, scrolling either sideways or vertically to reveal the world sequentially during play. One of the first examples of a 'side-scrolling' game was the arcade game Scramble. Due to technological advancements, scrolling games are more generally found on handhelds and mobile games these days and not so much on console games, arcade games, or computer games.
