Games that have a MINIMUM number of players?

[Game Freak]

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.

heh, i just realized another possible one is Gyromite >_> as long as you don't have an ROB, as I don't

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.

Combat

Lots and lots of class pong games and dedicated consoles.

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

[Dangerboy]

Heh...You can also add Socom PS3 to that...MAG to boot.

Pac-Man Vs.

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.

[Mobius]

The 3DO Game show Twisted game required at least 2 player minimum.

Also, Zhadnost.

Many Magnavox Odyssey games required 2 players, some Magnavox Odyssey games required 3 players

[ubersaurus]

Spacewar!

[garagesaleking!!]

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

And who said games weren't social?

They force your friends to come!

what friends?

[Ed Oscuro]

what friends?
The ones that live in our TVs!

8 Eyes on the NES is much easier with two players; at the very least you need to have two controllers hooked in at once to control both characters fully at the same time.

[BetaWolf47]

Xenophobe as well, unless you want to play the game with 2/3 of the screen with the game logo on it.

still was more than I had around. pffft.

Anyway, as noted in that AVGN review that Atart 2600 Indiana Jones game required the use of two... controllers.. ... for some reason.
