Multiplayer beat-em-ups
« on: October 17, 2017, 06:26:13 AM »
Someone asked this question, and I had a hard time making a definitive list. How many (simultaneous) multiplayer beat-em-ups were there on the PC Engine/TG-16?

Here's what we've come up with:
Anesan
Galaxy Keiji Gayvan
Double Dragon II
Cadash (sort of counts)
Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari
Altered Beast (HuCard version)

Are we missing anything??

Bonk is a platformer, horror story a run n gun, and altered beast doesn't have simultaneous multiplayer, right? So no to those, unfortunately :\ added Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari though!

I was ready with some sweet suggestions then I saw PCE only. Sweet list so far. I enjoyed Anesan. I should burn off Downtown Nekketsu Monogatari.

Here's a list of most if not all the two-player co-op games.   It's stolen from Mr. Game Sack Joe.  I don't see any that you missed. That might be it. Unless you sorta want to include things like parasol star, popn magic, Cho anki . . . all of which I don't really fall into the beat em up area.

While the CD version is 1-player only, the Hucard version does offer 2-player simultaneous gameplay.
