NES: Best 2-Player Simultaneous Games

[RockNRollJerk]

Any suggestions for great 2 player simultaneous games?

We're already big fans of Contra, Bubble Bobble, Ice Hockey, and Tecmo Bowl.

[XYXZYZ]

You've got some good ones there, Contra is my favorite. Also check out-

Life Force
Double Dragon II
Ikari Warriors
Jackal
Kung Fu Heroes
Little Ninja Boy
Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers
Gameshow titles (Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc.)
Anticipation
Blades of Steel, Double Dribble

I'll add more as I think of them.

Double Dragon III
Battletoads
Anticipation
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Kings of the Beach

How about Duck Hunt? Plug a controller into the 1st port and you can control the duck in "1 duck" mode.

Tengen Tetris; man, it just never gets old...

There was this racing game that came in a black cart. It was top view game, It was pretty cool.

Try you hands at Narc

Double Dragon II is so fun once you figure out how to do specials.

Try Super Dodgeball if you can find it.

Micro Machines..............GET IT!

I think you're thinking of Micro Machines.

Trog is a good one.

I don't know whom you are talking about when you say "we're". But if you are referring to a wife/girlfriend I'd recommend Marble Madness, second Bubble Bobble, and third the gameshow vote with Family Feud in particular. My wife loves all of those.

If your "we're" is a buddy/dude then I'd recommend most of the above along with
North and South
Baseball Stars
River City Ransom (I think that's two players)


Oh and if you are a woman, then flip and reverse above suggestions :)

Most all of Nintendo's 2 player VS. unisystem translations were excellent.

Ice Climber, Wrecking Crew, Balloon Fight (the best Joust rip-off ever), and the very underrated Clu Clu Land.

Is Clu Clu Land 2 player simultaneous? I didn't know that!

Super Off Road and Super Sprint are fun if you don't mind the tiny graphics

[Tron 2.0]

Rush'N'Attack!

[NEOFREAK9189]

[squidblatt]

Lifeforce and Jackal were my favorites.

[DeputyMoniker]

R.C. Pro-Am II

Good cal. I was thinking the same thing.
Double Dragon was the first to come to mind though.
TMNT the arcade game is pretty awesome too.

[LifeGame]

In my opinion, Marble Madness is MAD if you have 2 very skilled players in gets very intense believe me.
JACKAL also very good
Bubble Bobble


Thats it for me :snipersmile:

[Jumpman Jr.]

Battletoads and Double Dragon. Much better on the NES than on the SNES in my opinon.

[platygash]

Super Sprint is the game in the black cart

[Speedy_NES]

I'd also recommend most of the games listed so far (especially the Ikari Warriors series and North & South), as well as these two:

Ninja Crusaders (this game gets good with skilled teamwork)
Eliminator Boat Duel (try to destroy the other player's boat ;))

[Arthur-Otaku]

Heavy Barrel and final mission (scatz in US)

[Dji]

Many great suggestions already. Here's a few more:

Dr. Mario
Guerrilla War
Gyromite
Monopoly
Rampage
Rock 'n Ball
Smash TV
Track 'n Field II
