Four player arcade games list

So almost all of these 3 and 4 player games are drawn from the "killer" lists. Remember that many Arcade games have to be set up properly to be in 3 or 4 player mode. This can be done either by using the appropriate Rom or by entering the service mode Mame default is F2 or sometimes via dip switch, accesible via the TAB menu and changing the number of players. You might also have to set up the coin slots, or make it so that all players can insert coins, if there are only 2 coin slots for all players.

These are all games that can be played with a digital joystick and normal arcade buttons. Aliens VS. Predator — Pure Capcom gold with an exceptionally deep fighting system for a brawler Armored Warriors — Another Capcom gem with gorgeous Mech graphics. Dark Adventure — Gauntlet clone, but with bizarre monsters and story. Gain Ground — Most ports were 2 player, but this is a surprisingly addictive slow-paced game for 3 players. King of Dragons — Another great Capcom brawler.

Knights of the Round — Capcom just killing it with another awesome 3 player brawler. Being able to play with 3 players makes up for the graphics not being up to Final Fight standards. The game should have been 4 players and better. Warriors of Fate — Capcom does Fuedal combat.

Xenophobe — Presentation is top-notch, love this era of Atari cartoonish arcade graphics. Use of split-screen is excellent. Gameplay and controls are not fantastic, however.

Arabian Fight — Huge sprites and impressive graphical effects help to make up for uninspired gameplay. Arabian Magic — Another okay game that barely passes muster. Battle Circuit — Pure Capcom absurdity, play this one to see how crazy things get. They are probably the reason why many control panels have 4 action buttons for players 3 and 4.

Dungeons and Dragons Tower of Doom — See above. Exvania — Bomberman in a dungeon. Football Champ — Soccer game with decent graphics and gameplay. Joe — Graphics and style are cool, you can blow up almost everything in this game and fight over who gets to be Snake Eyes.

Gauntlet — I remember the feeling of seeing this beast of a cabinet when it first hit the arcade. It had glorious graphics, amazing sound, an almost unreal number of enemies and, most impressive of all, hilarious, good quality, voice samples. Not having to spend actual money to play kind of saps the intensity out of the gameplay, though. Gauntlet II — The sequel expanded and improved on the formula in many ways, but the central pay-for-health gameplay issues persist. High Impact — Decent football game with Midway humor and early digitized graphics.

Hook — This is a decent brawler. Karate Blazers — Really fun ridiculous brawler. As for the bootleg, it's the same as the original with, as far as I could tell, additional new selectable characters. Knights of Valour is worth your time. It's amazing! If someone would translate this game to English, then it would be perfect.

Knights of Valour Super Heroes - This seems to be nearly identical to the former game with different characters, again Chinese only, at least with all the roms that I tried. Knights of Valour 2 - The sequel is more of the same eye-popping awesomeness, also with the regional flaw i. January 14, , am. Home Help Search Login Register. Send this topic Print. Read times. Both are very popular among my friends. Do you have any recommendations?

You should try Bomberman. It's a lot of fun at 4 players. Shuuz take turns. For a party Good games, but more of, the right people. But again, these aren't really the best games, all good.

But get the right crowd. I'm always amazing at how much fun MJ is after a few drinks after people argue that there is NO way theyw ould have made that game Sunset Riders C.

But we usually prefer playing games where you play against each other. The Co-op games get boring quickly if you play with unlimited coins and usually are too hard if you play with one credit for example especially if people are drinking.

Can't play Blitz 99, blitz 2k, gauntlet dark legacy, gauntlet legends Look these up on Dreamcast emulators though? Some more good suggestions here too. Now I need to bookmark this thread too.
