I'm planning on having a classic gaming get together sometime in the future and would like to pick up some of the best 2 player (preferably vs) games for the original gameboy. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

tetris!
Autobots. Roll out.
yeah, i would say tetris too. Only GB? Oh c'mon! Every classic gaming needs some mario kart! :P
Not necessarily, just some fun choices.
Well, I'll have several different systems and a Mame cabinet as well. It's just that I have 2 gameboys and a link cable but no 2 player games, not 2 of the same game at least...I just thought that 2 player GB would be a fun option since I already have the systems and all. The games seem to be cheap and easy to get at my local game store but since I'd need 2 of each I didn't want to end up with a bunch of crap times 2.
And, I'll have Tetris for sure.

You have one heck of a local game store, then. Perhaps you should double-check on the selection there.
I dimly recall that Revenge of the Gator is supposed to be kind of fun in two-player mode, and apparently Space Invaders is pretty good too.
These also come to mind, but I'm really not sure about a lot of them. Perhaps you should try them in 1-player mode on an emulator first.
Titus the Fox
Go Go Tank
The Hunt for Red October
Radar Mission (specifically the action game component, not the Battleship clone)

Faceball 2000, perhaps?
I'd like to say Yoshi's Cookie, but there are other ways to play that. And that's a good question, actually: are you looking for sort-of GB exclusives?
