    Default Got a "Great Multiplayer" games thread going elsewhere- thought I'd give it a shot ag

    Yeah- we've had this thread before I'm sure- but it's been awhile and it's time for a refresher course. I'm looking for suggestions on good multiplayer games- whether it be co op or competitive. Any and every suggestion is appreciated! Looking for mostly "local/socail/ even hotseat" style games (I.e. if it takes 1 console per FPS player- it might not be a good fit here- but it's worth a shot anyways

    So far we have:

    Atari:
    Combat
    Warlords (w/ 4 dial controllers)

    Snes:
    Bomberman(S)
    Mario Kart
    Street Racer

    N64:
    Mario Kart
    Goldeneye
    Perfect Dark

    GameCube:
    Bomberman Generations
    Mario Strikers
    Smash Brothers Melee
    F-Zero GX
    Super Monkey Ball(s)

    DC:
    Virtua Tennis
    Outrigger
    Chu Chu Rocket (mentioned several times for it's simple to grasp gameplay)
    Vigilante 8: SO
    Power Stone 1(2 player?) /2 (4 player)

    Xbox:
    Mashed Fully Loaded (pal only- though US got the 1st edition) 4 Player Micro Machines style racing game- VERY fun
    Time Splitters 2
    Time Splitters FP

    Wii:
    Smash Brothers Brawl
    Mario Strikers Charged

    PS3:
    Little Big Planet

    Xbox 360:
    Worms 2
    Bomberman Live
    Shooting Love 200x
    Death Tank (seems to have gone awol on XB Live?)

    PC:
    Soldat (works great on older systems-so it gets a pass)
    Liero
    Scorched Earth
    Worms
    Atomic Bomberman


    PCB/Arcade:
    Numan Athletics: Both of these are really neat 1-4 player competitive 'super sports' games.
    Mach Breaker (NA2)
    Smash TV
    Mr Driller G

    Multiple/?:
    Puzzle Bobble 2!!!
    Point Blank 3!!!


    Anything else to add fellas?

    Any and all Mario Karts are good for that. Castle Crashers is also a pretty excellent multiplayer game on 360.

    Powerstone 2 is definitely the top of the multiplayer heap, though.

    If you got a PS3 I'll play you sometime using ad-hoc party. One reason why multiplayer games are better on the PSP than some of their other counterparts.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Genesis: Herzog Zwei
    Sega CD: Soul Star

    The co-op two player in Soul Star has one player as the co-pilot in control of weapon selection and allocation of energy between shields and engines (speed), while the other player flies and targets. It is a unique and very satisfying experience when playing with a capable co-pilot.

    Some of the KOEI strategy games (Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Nobunaga's Ambition, Genghis Khan, etc.) are pretty fun if you can find enough people that are into that kind of stuff.

    As for some good multiplayers, The Simpsons or any of those early 90's Konami arcade games are sure to clean you and your friends' pockets!

    Gotta get the fighting games in there. I'll just mention a couple of the basics, so I'll add Marvel vs Capcom 2, Street Fighter 3, and Street Fighter 2.
