On the one hand: the way forward is to the Right.

On the other hand: to the Right is where danger lies.

Has there ever been a side scroller in which the way forward is left?

There are some side-scrolling games in which the nature of the "left" side of the character varies, given the actions performed by said character as he moves to the "right."
