Don't forget Super C
Tecmo Bowl is great for its historic value, but Tecmo Super Bowl to this day remains the greatest sports game ever made. The running game of Bo Jackson versus the Montana-Rice passing game is the most dynamic head-to-head match-up imaginable in a video game. Rumor has it that God himself had dreams of Bo zig-zaggin' along a TV screen, and forced the programmers to put it in the game. Tecmo Bowl is a nice piece, but it has to be replaced by Super Bowl.
Other notables: Spy vs. Spy is a fairly average 1-player game, but it's a lot of fun going head-to-head against another person. Same can be said for North & South. Super C is another, but the original Contra is already up there. And how about Smash TV? Sure, the NES couldn't handle a perfect port of the arcade game (one of the top 2-player arcade games ever), but it's close enough to retain most of the gameplay.
There are some greats on this list! I have not seen Spy Vs. Spy Though? Anyone hate it for some reason?
Opps! Just read PSXFerrari mention of Spy Vs.Spy! Than ks for the love!
Glad to see Bubble Bobble got some recognition.
But Double Dragon's two-player mode was just a one-on-one battle. The co-op fighting came in its sequels.
And, as far as baseball games goes, I'd have to say Base Wars was the best of them. (Mainly because it was the one I had the best chance of beating some of my friends at.)
Gimmie a game, I'll either love it, or pimp-smack it.
Hard to think of 20 so i'll list 10.
1.Contra
2.Super C
3.Jackal
4.Crisis Force:I know that's famicom but it's fun with 2p.
5.Life Force
6.Nintendo Pro Wrestling
7.Tecmo Bowl
8.RCR
9.Bubble Bobble
10.Tecmo World Wrestling
Jackal
Guerilla War
Contra
Archon
Dusty Diamond's All-Star Softball
Don't need anymore than that.
Negative, negative! We have a Wildcat destabilization of the ship's fusion core!
no one mentioned ikari warriors?
thats my vote that hasnt been already mentioned.
Tecmo Super Bowl, can play for days =)
I would have to say that Contra is very fun without another player; I actually can't stand to play with someone else, though I've been playing that game ever since I can remember (first game I ever beat) and can pull a deathless run through it so that may be why I feel weird playing it with another person. If you can find someone who knows the game, then I'm sure it's a lot better; but sadly none of my friends have ever really played Contra or Super C and think I'm doing an insane gaming act by going through without dying...I try to tell them that it's nothing more than memory.
Anyway, I would have to put Contra and Super C on the top of my list as well as Double Dragon II.
Didn't see RC Pro-Am 2 mentioned anywhere, or Clu Clu Land.
I'm hoping by Guerrilla they mean Guerrilla Warfare. That game was amazing, I spent countless hours playing that one with friends. We even had little tournaments!
I've seen these already in this thread but mine are
North & South
Baseball Stars
Tecmo Super Bowl
Bubble Bobble 1 & 2
Snow Brothers
Super Dodge Ball
Contra
River City Ransom
Double Dragon II as well. And I like that you get the choice to ignore friendly damage or be able to beat the living crap out of your brother. Plus turning it on allows you to cheat and get 7 lives.
Heres my two-cents with two games:
Contra
Dr. Mario
Tecmo Super Bowl
Baseball Stars
Ikari Warriors
Contra
Dr Mario
Bubble Bobble
Double Dragon
Tecmo Bowl
Mario Bros
Clu Clu Land
Ice Hockey
All I could think of. This is a great site, got hooked, lots of great topics in the messageboards.
Micro Machines.
