For some quick two player fun I like:
Smithereens!
It plays like Artillary Duel on the 2600. It is overly simple, but good fun for a short while.

Hmmm. Only two that I can think of would be KC Munchin and Quest For The Rings. I got Quest For The Rings at a thrift store brand new in the box. It was an amazing find. The game was never played and not a single piece for the gameboard was missing. The game was pretty complex for its time. I remember it being a lot of fun with multiple people playing. If you don't have it, get it.
K. C. Munchkin is a Pac-Man clone, but it's got some imagination thrown into it to set it apart. The maze shifts and changes, there's very few dots to eat but they move through the maze and the remaining dots speed up as you clear the board, and the monsters are far more aggressive than in Pac-Man.
As I have found out recently, Killer Bees is a really good game. You play as a swarm of bees and have to attack a group of robots moving around the playfield. You also have to contend with the killer bees that come out of hives on the sides and top of the screen. You've got a bug zapper that will wipe out any enemy bees that occupy the horizontal line you're on, but you can only use it once and it can only be recharged by killing another robot. This game starts to get fast. I mean, really fast. It's pretty impressive.
Attack of the Timelord is a nice little shooter, but gets a bit repetitious after a while. Still, it'll occupy a good chunk of time.
Pick Axe Pete is pretty good fun as well.

KC's Crazy Chase is a mix of Pac-Man and Centipede and it's awesome.
I'll second Killer Bees. It's a pretty fun and unique game. It's a bit harder to find than some of the others though.

I really enjoy both KC Munchkin and KC's Crazy Chase. I only have a dozen or so O2 games.
If you can't do it with 8 bits, you don't need to do it!
UFO was always one of my favorites

For the more technical-knowledgeable here:
What were the limits of the O2? What could it actually do? Was it possible, for example, for the characters in K.C. Munchkin to have been multi-colored?
Interesting stuff, here (COMPLETELY unbiased opinion, hehhehheh):

i had this system instead of a 2600 when i was young.
i liked;
1.monkey shines
2. take the money and run (right title?)
3. pick ax pete
4. ufo
i remember many of these games had level editors. like kc muchkin and monkey shines.
Turtles, Killer Bees, Attack of the Timelord, KC Munchkin
These 4 are must haves. On KC, you can program your own mazes, which makes for even more fun.
You can put a man on trial, but you can't make the guilty pay.
KC's Crazy Chase has my vote. If you don't fall in love with this game......YOU HAVE NO SOUL!!!
