    Default NES 4 player adapter

    I know I could look it up but you guys are more fun. Sometimes a little too serious, but fun nontheless.

    Just curious as to what games are capable of 4 player. I "think" I remember playing Bomberman on 4 player mode once before. Also, of these games are any of them fun to play?

    The first Bomberman was one-player, but the series would take off with subsequent editions (such as Bomberman '93 for the TG-16 and Bomberman II mentioned in this thread) offering multi-player mode. That original game is fairly dull since it's much more fun to blow up a friend(s) instead of just the computer characters.

    Super Spike V'ball is still one of the greatest 4 player sports games of all time. Fantastic.

    I assumed they would be mostly sports. I think I remember Gauntlet II being a fun one. Have any of you played the Swords and Serpents?

    It's an RPG. Not a very good one either. I know it says choose the amount of players, but I can't think of how you'd even play the game multiplayer.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Information is limited, but Wikipedia does say, "Control of the characters is divided evenly among the number of players, but one player must be chosen as the party leader to control navigation through the game."

    It sounds to me I should seek out this Swords and Serpents and answer all of your questions with personal experience.
