While they did have a 4 player version of X-men, I'll always think of it as a 6 player game. I remember seeing the cab for the first time and thinking how cool it was with the dual screens. Only other multi screened game I had ever seen was Ninja Warriors (3 screen version).

 

[Tyranix95]

I vote TMNT.

TMNT cause it's probably one of the first 4 player beat em ups I can remember putting a lot of quarters into.

Yeah I saw pictures of the 6-player version. It looks bananas! But I only list 4-players since that's the maximum for a single screen of gaming for any of these titles (much like how I don't mention a TMNT game as its 2-player release)

 

[Lemony Vengeance]

voted for TMNT.

 

[scgon]

Has to be Simpsons, those multi character moves are awesome

 

[ChuChu Flamingo]

First TMNT.

 

[Xian Xi]

No Moo Mesa?

 

[SNKorSWM]

I used to play some baby controlling an armor suit. Don't remember the title though.

 

[HDRchampion]

My vote goes to Sunset riders. Love the snes version pretty sure 4 player would be even better.

That's CPS1, Captain Commando.

No Moo Mesa?

Wild West C.O.W-Boys of Moo Mesa

Fight the outlaws of the Wild West back when the West was TRULY wild as the C.O.W-Boys of Moo Mesa!

 

[trenog]

Sorry Xang Xi, I guess I just overlooked this other Konami 4-player game, it seems like a split between a beat-em-up of the traditional style and a shooter of the Sunset Riders style since you get a gun and can attack enemies with a physical attack. It looks neat!

 

[Jassin000]

I forgot all about Moo Mesa as well. Out of all the games listed in this post, it would get my vote as worst.

 

[Tyranix95]

This list is fine the way it is.

Dang! The Turtles are cleaning house.

 

[Xian Xi]

Haha, very true.

My vote went to TMNT2 with TMNT as a extremely close second.

 

[SNKorSWM]

That's CPS1, Captain Commando.

So that was Capcom instead. Thanks for the reminder.

 

[jdotaku]

I voted simpsons as I played that the most either that or xmen those were the cabs available to me locally
