Tons, here are my favorites.

North and South
Tecmo Bowl (and Super)
Super Dodge Ball
Baseball Stars
Excitebike (that's 2p right?)
Marble Madness
Super Spike V-Ball
Ring King
Ice Hockey
Racket Attack
Toobin
Family Feud
Double Dribble
Urban Champion

and these are just the ones I enjoy. Outside of these you probably have at least 20-30 more sports/game show/board game titles.

seconded on these. Great choices!

Spy vs Spy is game that me and the buddies break out every once and a while for some laughs.

[Nukie]

When I read the title, the first game that popped into my head was Spy Vs. Spy.

[8bitnes]

Bomberman II has a great 2-player feature.

Also add these
Dr. Mario
Yoshi's Cookie
Tetris 2

Excitebike is not a 2-player simultaneous game, so probably not what we are looking for here.

Add Magic Darts to the list. Good way to kill an hour or two.

Also, my kids and I love to play Monopoly and Wheel of Fortune.

[cyberfluxor]

Track & Field
Marble Madness
Jeopardy
Tetris
Win, Lose or Draw
NES Open
Super Dodge Ball
Dr. Mario
Chess
Othello
Monopoly

Some repeats from other posts, but some others that you might want to check out. :)

Spy vs. Spy for the win!

Yeah, but one being the best of all (that of which nobody has said yet!).
Blades of Steel!!

Meh. I've always preferred Ice Hockey. :)

[Ruudos]

Bomberman II

[Hammy]

round ball challenge :)

[Niku-Sama]

friend of mine and i prefer rock n' ball

its a pinball game

[retroplayer]

Wario woods is one of my favorites.

[Jake2215]

Geez. Could only think of Balloon Fight and RC Pro Am 2? What with the most fun collection of sports games on any system ever?


Tecmo Super Bowl, the greatest vs game ever?
Blades of Steel, best vs hockey game on NES?
Mutha F-ing Baseball Stars? Almost any baseball game really.
Crash N' The Boys Street Challenge?
Nintendo World Cup?

[bangtango]

The ones I played most recently:

1. Super Sprint

2. Double Dragon (versus mode)

3. RBI Baseball 2 (mostly because it is a high scoring arcade title)

[jgenotte]

My faves (In order of total awesomeness - Serriously, check these out if you haven't played them with a friend):

Tecmo Super Bowl
Contra (HOW WAS THIS MISSED BY EVERYONE ABOVE!?)
Jackal (A sweet jeep-drivin, bad-guy-shootin, type game)
Micro Machines (Blows the great RC Pro Am out of the water)
Super Off Road (Get a 4 player adapter and watch the fun happen!)
Base Wars (Baseball w/robots..you get to fight eachother!)
Tiger Heli (Pretty sure this is a simul 2p game)
Spy vs. Spy (Great, but only when both players are farmilliar wih the game)
River City Ransom
Tiger Heli (Pretty sure this is a simul 2p game)


God, making this list makes me realise that I don't play enough NES!

PS: Marble Madness is not a simul 2p game.

[Dr. Morbis]

I haven't read the whole thread, but if Micro Machines hasn't been mentioned by now then that is a TRAVESTY!

[rick weis]

Thanks everyone for your replies!
some good ones i forgot about there!

Take care,

Rick

I believe the OP was looking for PvP games not just simultaneous 2p action, so contra (and the other konami games mentioned)wouldn't count. Though they are good games. But here's some that haven't been mentioned:
Mario Bros - Can't go wrong here, Hardcore 8-bit PvP action
SMB3 - just load up and press a as soon as the game starts and play...mario bros vs each other
Duck Hunt! - In 1 duck mode (maybe in 2 too, not sure), anyway, in 1 duck mode, you can control the duck (it's more noticeable when the ducks get faster)
Rampart - One of the greatest PvP titles of all time (tho the SNES version is better)
Ivan Ironman Stewart's Super Off Road - Not only is it PvP, but it's PvPvPvP, in other words, 4-player simultaneous competition (you need a 4-score or a satellite)

[Nukie]

I just thought of this, but caveman games. My best friend and I were actually playing this a few days ago and spent about four hours with it.

Anticipation is actually a good game for a bunch of people! No laughing or flaming!
