Best 2-player games?
« on: March 23, 2013, 10:40:08 AM »
Sorry if this has already been discussed.  My girlfriend has been playing more retro games with me lately & I've been thinking about getting a multitap & some 2-player games for us to try.  So far, only Bomberman comes to mind, but I'm sure there are others. 

Also, on a completely unrelated note, what's the going rate for a complete copy of PC Genjin? 
Play Turbografx.
Play the Turbografx. PLAY
THE TURBOGRAFX!!!!!!

Buh buh buh, I have almost all teh games evar.  I R TEH BESTEST COLLECTR!!

Deffo Splash Lake.

Splash Lake and Cadash were easily the two 2-player games I had the most fun with.

Bomberman and Motoroader would be added to my list if you ended up with 4-players around, but at just 2-players you can't beat these games.

The absolute best PCE game for two players is...a very close tie, I'd say, between Puyo Puyo Tsu and Street Fighter II'.

The problem though is that when you trying to find something fun for someone less hardcore than you both of these games might be not so great because its possible to be really good and DESTROY other people. Puyo one of those that when you win big it just demoralizes the hell out your opponent. You can CRUSH dudes in Puyo.

So maybe Panic Bomber would be better. Its a bit more random and I'm not sure anyone in the world is actually good at it. Bonk 3 would be pretty cool too. Everyone likes Bonk. And of course Buster Bros. I'm not sure why we don't hear people talking about Buster Bros (Pomping World) more.
