Your Opinion: The best 2+ player games on the system

The dwarves in Don Doku Don are way cuter.  Chicks dig it.

Beard rides...one dollar!

Apart from Bomberman? ('94 for the win btw)

Bonk III, if you have played New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, it's a similar experience.  Just 16 years before hand and with much more replay value.

Metamor Jupitor, a shooter that supports 3 players at once.

Back to the topic at hand: Bubble Bobble 3: Parasol Stars is a great time with 2 players. The only time I've ever beaten the game, was playing 2 player with my wife.

I totally forgot about this game, and someone else mentioned Cadash. Both games are a lot of friggin' fun with a partner in crime.

Motoroader II, hands down.

I actually prefer 1, but that's mainly because I don't like the graphical changes made to part 2.  I have never played MC though, and it looks awesome.  It is on the top of my needs list (with Coryoon).

I prefer MotoRoader 1, too, and here's why: upgrading in this game feels the most fun (plus, the music is superior). Also, I agree that MR2 looks like ass. I just don't understand what happened. Now, MR MC...I haven't had a chance to really play it enough to cast a final judgment on it, but solo mode seems quite challenging (one mistake and you won't place in a decent spot). I wish I had played more 5-player with MC, but it has been a long time and I can't recall how far we got and if everyone enjoyed it. You know what that means: MotoRoader MC party at my house

I trust nat's views in general, so I should give MR2 another chance, but it really was disappointing (lackluster) as far as I am concerned.

SHUT UP! Did I know this and then forget? How could I have forgotten about it, though? I might have to scour the forum just to see if I knew this, because it is vaguely familiar, YET I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT, EVER! WTF??!!

And, as you know, I never use "WTF", because that would be unseemly.


----- UPDATE: It wasn't even that long ago! And SuperDeadite was the one who shared it back in 2009, too.

----- STILL AWESOME, even if it isn't truly 3 independent ships.

Sf2,bomberman panic,dungeon explorer

In addition to the other fine suggestions, check out Splash Lake, Kabuki Itouryodan, Motteke Tamago, 1943, Pop 'n' Magic, and Faceball (saved the best for last ).  Two others that I have yet to try but look promising are Chiki Chiki Boys and Magicoal; anyone here try either of these with two players?

[Senshi]

Is Magicoal playable without knowing Japanese? I wasn't sure if you were saying you haven't played it all or just the two player mode.

[vestcoat]

I've made a couple brief forays into Magicoal without reading Japanese and it doesn't seem too bad.  I've only sunk two hours into the game, but the couple of roadblocks I've hit have been cleared up by going back and talking to everyone again.  I've haven't gotten the game to work with the MB128, however.

and Faceball (saved the best for last ). 

Only four-player FPS on the Duo!

OK, someone needs to record a video of 3 people playing Metamor Jupiter. I want to see it in action.

[sunteam_paul]

We used to take our PC Engines to school and play multi-player Motoroader in our lunch break, that was alwyas good fun (until the deputy head-teacher decided to ban consoles because he thought they 'broke' a monitor).

[spenoza]

Oh, I second Splash Lake! That game rocks anyway. Add 2 players and you have mucho awesomeness!

Sounds like an awesome school. I think the monitor just didn't want to play anything but pc engine after that
