    Default What are the best 2 Player Gameboy Games?

    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.

    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.

    Well, the games you'd expect to be more are generally priced higher, but most of the cart only original GB games are $5 or less. Maybe not always the best deal you can find but certainly affordable.

    This really is a good game. I've forgotten all about it. Didn't realize that there was a 2-player aspect to it...VERY interesting!

    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?
