My friends and I used to play 4-player Armada on the Dreamcast all the time when it first came out. We loved shooters and RPGs and this game melded them both into one incredible game. Especially with 4-players!!!

If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?
Break out the NES, a Four Score and Super Spike V'Ball.
Spike a ball right in your friends' faces.
OR
Shove your friends' spikes right back in their faces.
Fun.
NBA Hang Time for N64 is a great 4-player game. Like NBA Jam, just a bit better.
NES - I always liked Danny Sullivans Indy Heat - Don't ask me why...
NES - Anticipation will work with 4 people...
I can't believe no one has mentioned Gauntlet...! NES had 4 player Gauntlet 2 and i think Gauntlet legends was 4 player on the N64/Dreamcast?
If you do the PC thing you can always go Diablo and Free Civ is pretty cool but you have to do it on a regular basis or you don't really get anywhere.
For the modern stuff there is lots of "interesting stuff" on the game cube - Zelda 4 swords, Final Fantasy Crystal something or other and i think there was also a pac man game where one player plays regular pacman on a GBA while the other players control the ghost - someone on here will no the name of what i am talking about...
And wasn't Blast Chamber 4 player for the PSX? I know extreme pinball was 4 player but it kinda defeats the purpose of a 4 player experience when only one person gets to play at a time...

Next time friends come over for four-player gaming, I'm going to hang a diagram showing what each button does, for each game. This should cut down on the chaos caused by so many people asking, "now, how do I do XYZ again?"
There's Gauntlet Legends, too. Great 4 player game.

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God
Romans 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hey Everybody,
I'm new to the forum, but I've been recently bitten by the retro-gaming bug again.
One thing I've been looking for is good list of 4 player games. Not 2 player games, but ones that use the multitap adapter of Fourscore(more than 2 players). I'm looking at just the SNES or NES.
I notice one (list) on Wikipedia, but there are a few games on there that are clearly not 4 player as I've personally tried a few of them on the list... Some work, some don't. For example, it lists NHL 94-98. I've tried 94, and it works with 4 players no problem, I tried 96, and it doesn't work.
I was wondering if people could list 4 player games they've confirmed working, or games they remember playing 4 players. I figure with all the resources we have here, we can make a proper list.
I plan on buying some games in the future, but don't want to bother wasting my money on a game I think is 4-player, only to get it home to find out it's only 2 player (like the case of NHL '96)
I've seen other threads similar to this before, but they were all on old boards, or the threads are locked. (for example: http://boards.ign.com/classic_consol...09925462/p1/?2 )
I just wanted to start up the discussion again, see if anybody can suggest what games work, or ones they've played and enjoyed.
(again, I'm primarily interested in hearing about SNES & NES)
-Sneak
Let's do up a proper list!
4-player SNES games I've tried (personally) and had work.
SNES:
NHL '94
NBA Jam: Tournament Edtion
NBA Live '96
Bomberman 2
NES:
Super Spike V'Ball
IronMan Stewart's Off Road Racing
Master of Monsters for the Genesis was also four player capable.
When I come home from a long day in Hell, there's nothing I'd rather reach for than a fire-brewed bottle of Styx Beer. Made from the filthiest waters from our own River Styx. Styx Beer is a third more toxic than any other regular beer. The worst beer - the filthiest beer - the deadliest beer. It's Styx Beer!
NBA Jam T.E. (SNES)
Super Bomberman 2 (SNES)
Super Tetris 3 (SFC) [So insane with 4 players!]
It's official, my snes cart only collection is complete! The collection includes both competition carts, ISS, ISSD, EMBR/SR and Super Noah's Ark 3D.
Please check out my video game cover music.

I'm surprised nobody has listed the Codemasters "J-Cart" games for the Genesis. These have two carts built right into the cartridge.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-Cart
It was used for:
* Pete Sampras Tennis
* Pete Sampras Tennis '96
* Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament
* Micro Machines 96
* Micro Machines Military
* Super Skidmarks
The entry even states that MM2 can accommodate up to 8 players using 4 pads. Each player uses either d-pad or face buttons. I have not used a J-Cart, but I remember wanting to play Pete Sampras Tennis for many years just so I could see the cart up close.
