Best 2 Player Games

Post by BigDeadFreak »

I'm looking for some decent mulitplayer games for my cab. I'm thinking of stuff like Windjammers that can be played by anyone as opposed to stuff like Street Fighter that require a fair amount of knowledge and skill. Basically any party games that can be enjoyed by casual gamers.

Off the top of my head I can think of the following:

Windjammers
NBA Jam
Puzzle Bobble

Any others?

Thanks for the suggestions, I might check out the Pang games. I've already got Neo Bomberman, completely forgot about that one.

Chappy, I've got Street Hoop but I've never really been a massive fan. It seems so hard to get the ball of your opponent that it always ends up with two people just taking it in turns to score. I don't know if there's something I'm doing wrong but every time I play it with friends it's just a bit boring. Any tips?

Virtua Tennis 2 is an amazing 2player game, I'd love a Naomi set up.

I'm also thinking of getting Klax, I loved that game.

Epic versus on this game once you get how it's meant to be played (and it's not that hard)

Some of the STV sports games.

The one that springs to mind is Winter Heat which is a scream with a few mates and a few beers!

I'm sure there are others though.

**HINT** Play it on someone else's cab ;)

Cheers,

Ralph.

When the opponent has the ball, chase them and once behind press the steal button (B) a few times and you can usually get the ball. Street Hoop is one of my favourite MVS games.

My best 2-player game has to be Final Fight (such a classic!) or any other scrolling fighters by Capcom (e.g. Captain Commando/Cadillacs and Dinosaurs), SNK (e.g. Sengoku 1/2) or Konami (e.g. TMHT/Simpsons/X-Men).

Thanks for that. I always tried to steal the ball when facing them, never thought about doing it from being (so to speak). :D

If you like Windjammers, Hat Trick is also a pretty great player versus player game. It's a little older, but it's probably the most fun 1 on 1 hockey game I've ever played. EA doesn't have squat on this game.

Change Air Blade is really fun if you like shooters and something a little different. Small learning curve though...

Blades of Steel is always fun - or Hit the Ice for that matter. (but I prefer Blades cause it's faster and more frantic)

But the one I love the most is Mach Breakers - because any track and field game where you get to catch a gigaton missile is tops in my book.
