NES: Best 2-Player Simultaneous Games

[RockNRollJerk]

Any suggestions for great 2 player simultaneous games?

We're already big fans of Contra, Bubble Bobble, Ice Hockey, and Tecmo Bowl.

[XYXZYZ]

You've got some good ones there, Contra is my favorite. Also check out-

Life Force
Double Dragon II
Ikari Warriors
Jackal
Kung Fu Heroes
Little Ninja Boy
Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers
Gameshow titles (Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, etc.)
Anticipation
Blades of Steel, Double Dribble

I'll add more as I think of them.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project
Kings of the Beach

How about Duck Hunt? Plug a controller into the 1st port and you can control the duck in "1 duck" mode.

There was this racing game that came in a black cart. It was top view game, It was pretty cool.

Try you hands at Narc

Double Dragon II is so fun once you figure out how to do specials.

Try Super Dodgeball if you can find it.

Micro Machines..............GET IT!

I think you're thinking of Micro Machines.

Trog is a good one.

I don't know whom you are talking about when you say "we're". But if you are referring to a wife/girlfriend I'd recommend Marble Madness, second Bubble Bobble, and third the gameshow vote with Family Feud in particular. My wife loves all of those.

If your "we're" is a buddy/dude then I'd recommend most of the above along with
North and South
Baseball Stars
River City Ransom (I think that's two players)


Oh and if you are a woman, then flip and reverse above suggestions

Most all of Nintendo's 2 player VS. unisystem translations were excellent.

Ice Climber, Wrecking Crew, Balloon Fight (the best Joust rip-off ever), and the very underrated Clu Clu Land.

Is Clu Clu Land 2 player simultaneous? I didn't know that!
