Sorry for the self-promotion, but maybe X-Spelunker falls into the category (tile-level scroll though)

Was not aware of this. I can't seem to find footage of it for MSX.

Yes, of course, thanks! And the scroll is a little smart as well --doing it fast hides blockyness in 8px scroll.

Horizontal scrolling:
- Iga Ninja games (cute IMO)
- Crusader (not huge map per level but has scrolling)
- Magical kid wiz

Vertical scrolling, both definitely cute:
- Magical Tree
- Tensai Rabbian

Oh yes no scroll in pitfall 2 apart from that amazing smooth vertical scroll while using a balloon.

Scrolling in any direction:
- X-Spelunker and the original Spelunker by Irem too.
I don't think there are many more?

Infinite scrolling:
- Flicky by Sega
- Boggy '84 by Nippon Columbia

A couple more horizontal, both cute:
- Mappy by Namco
- Wonderboy (Takahasi) by Hudson

And another one vertical:
- Doki Doki Penguin Land by Sega
