favorite 3 or 4 player games?

not sonic · May 30, 2008

im probably going to stick a pc in my 4 player cabinet one of these days. as much as i love original hardware, i can't imagine dealing with so many different ways of connecting the extra players. plus i dont want to lose having 49-way sticks for blitz/showtime.

so what are the best 3-4 player horizontal games? is there anything thats not a beat em up? :tickled:

Konami's turtles 4cp is ichiban!

Sunset riders is very cool walk n gun game 3cp

huh theres a xman wit also alot of players but i didnt like it soo much.

and offcourse the one that started it all!

Gauntlet 1 and 2 <<--- very nice and classic 4 player goodness.

King of Dragons!

Well, that's my favorite, anyway.

It's more of a slash-em-up than beat-em-up.... :lolz:

oh hey wow is there a pc port?

because it sure as hell doesnt run very well in mame.

oh wow, I didn't even read your actual post. I only read the thread title.

if you're going PC, then I'm not allowed to speak to you.

Surprise no one said C & D, AVP and D & D yet. Konami pretty much have the multiplayer market cornered back in the days however.

Captain America and The Avengers - 4 player
Battletoads - 3 player

Why do I believe Fixeight is 3 player? Klov.com says it's only 2 player. I used to own the game... memory must be fuzzy. If it is 3 player it'd be a great addition.

(League Bowling)
(Kizuna Encounter) :kekeke:

And I'll second you on that. Years ago I posted a half-joke thread about a split connector I made for all my 3/4 player arcade games (a wood block with a bunch of screws to wrap wires around). I ended up making a slightly more refined version with actual molex connectors in a stick housing, etc, but I'll tell you it was a pain to manage all of the modular connectors for every damn game I owned. You're going a good direction.

simpsons
combatribes

The Chief · May 30, 2008

Bucky O'Hare for sure, The Simpsons and D&D:SOM are my tops. Oh yeah, X-Men is a must have too.

madman · May 30, 2008

Definitely the first TMNT game would be on my list, I bought a Simpsons board awhile ago and it wasn't as good as I had remembered it being. NBA Jam TE and Rampage (original) would also be on my list.

ForeverSublime · May 30, 2008

I checked MAME resources via google and saw that Fixeight is in fact 3 player.

"0.112: Stephane Humbert fixed toaplan2.c driver to add controls for player 3 in FixEight (main set still remains unplayable). "

I don't know if this means all versions are unplayable (including the bootleg dump) or just the main version.

3 player shooter = worth checking out.

All I can think of is beat'em ups.

Turtles in Time is the best turtles beat'em up.

Captain Commando
Wrestlefest
Ivan Stewart
2 on 2 Open Ice
NBA Max Hangtime
Blitz of course
Cyberball
Run and Gun 2
Merc
88 Games (Track & Field II)
Kizuna Encounter(I want to try it out)
Pit-Fighter (I dont know why, but I like it)

Arcademan · May 30, 2008

Konami was THE king of the 4 player games. Capcom had a few impressive ones (King of Dragons, Knights of the Round, D&D, etc.) Data East had Captain America and the Avengers, Atari Games (Super Sprint, Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2), Sega (Spider-Man, Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder, Hot Rod) and Technos (Double Dragon 3, Combatribes and WWE Wrestlefest). Some good, some meh.
