Recommend me some good games for two player simultaneous action...

[StarDust4Ever]

My friend is coming over this weekend, and it will be my first time seeing him since recently buying a Turbo Tab and spare controller.

I have a fully loaded Everdrive with No_Intro set of all known US and Japanese ROMs. Obviously the four excellent Bomberman games (including the '93 special battle edition) are a given. I am specifically looking for simultaneous multiplayer titles, not turn based, and preferably not sports games unless the gameplay is really really freaking good (like NBA Jam Genesis good). Hucard only as I don't have a CD system.

Last time we took turns with Blazing Lazers. He kept getting his ass kicked (wasting a few of my lives and at least one continue in the process) as I progressed through the stages. I finally made it to the stage six boss before it was time for him to leave. I later made it to stage seven after he left. But at the time, I only had one controller and no Turbo Tap so we didn't have a lot of options.

Parasol Stars

+ 1. Absolutely you will have a good time with this. If you don't, find new friend.

I actually own Parasol Stars too. Thanks for the suggestions...

We used to play multiplayer Moto Roader I and II a lot back in the day, I haven't played either in a long time so I don't know if they've aged badly.

Others I played back in the day:
Detana TwinBee
Don Doko Don
Dragon Saber
Salamander
Street Fighter II

I had great fun playing 2 player PC Genjin 3 quite recently, I'd definitely recommend that.

Andre Panza Kickboxing (just kidding!)

Don't waste your time with that.

BACK IN TOPIC:
Only a small group of misfits will dig it, but if the folks you are playing with are demented (like my brothers and I):

Double Dungeons

(again, folks either like it or hate it...no middle ground, in my experience).

[Warbucks]

I agree with the people above, Parasol Stars.

[Necromancer]

Bonk 3, Battle Lode Runner, Parasol Stars, Double Dungeons, Strip Fighter 2 (good for a laugh), 1943, and Cadash.

I hear TV Sports Hockey and Hit the Ice are excellent two player experiences
