    Default Games that have a MINIMUM number of players?

    I know how games can go up to like 2 or 4 (or sometimes 8 or 16 and even whatever that new FPS game says) but are there any with a minimum of 2 or more? seems kind of an odd question to ask, lol

    I know there are some games that are just not as good with one player, such as Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles

    The Adventures of Cookie & Cream

    It can be played 1 player, but its split screen, and you have to control both sides of the screen. So its very, very hard to play 1 player, a 2nd person is needed to advance into the game more.

    Cookies and Cream is a poor example though - you just said it can be played by 1 person.

    Minimum means no less than 2 people, at least, are required to play.

    The 3DO Game show Twisted game required at least 2 player minimum.
    The PSX demo NBA 2 Ball is strictly 2 people only.

    It's more modern, but L-O-L on Nintendo DS is multiplayer-only.
    RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.

    Warhawk for the PS3. Beyond needing a network to do even a home game it require two people to do much of anything.

    The original "Four Swords" portion of the GBA "Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords". I believe it required having 4 players.

    Four Swords Adventures however had a single-player option.

    Pretty much all Mattel's sports titles on the Intellivision.

    I know there's a bunch of old classic computer games that were 2-player minimum titles, I just can't think of any other than a few like Cosmopoly (TI-99/4A). I always hated that, I find a game that I like, go through the effort of mail ordering it, and it turns out to be two-player only.

    Nope, just had to have 2 or more players.
    My roommate and I played through it together in college.

    I know it's not a "classic game", but Zekkyō Senshi Sakeburein (AKA: Exclamation Warriors) on DS is multiplayer only.

    i can think of a ton of games that suck without 2 players, but none that require 2 players.
    Autobots. Roll out.
