/vr/ - Retro Games

DC port of Gauntlet Legends. They borrowed some content from Dark Legacy, so it's a weird gap between the two games.

Gauntlet anything
Bomberman anything
Bushido Blade 1 and 2
Smash Bros. 64
Some of the Frogger sequels (multiplayer versus)
Rampage series (but extremely monotonous gameplay)
to name a few...

>SNES:
Mario All-Stars is fun for turn-based multiplayer, but I don't believe there's any kind of co-op play aside from the versus matches in SMB3.

For co-op, Kirby Super Star is good. The second player can take control of Kirby's helper. I'm not sure whether Gradius III is turn-based or co-op, but that's something else to look into. Contra III is definitely co-op.

The Super Bomberman games support up to 4 players in versus mode.

Tetris Attack and Super Mario Kart are fun for PvP.

>Non-SNES:
Gauntlet Legends, or its expansion, Dark Legacy. Both are multiplat, and the number of maximum players depends on which version you play. The PS1 port of Legends allows only two players, while all other ports should allow 4. Great co-op hack-and-slash game that can be completed over a weekend.

Bushido Blade, and Bushido Blade 2. Both PS1 exclusives. Two-player versus games. They're fairly realistic weapon fighting simulators. It takes only one blow to KO your opponent, but the length of matches isn't necessarily short if your opponent is good at blocking.

Are you into racing games? There are too many to cover in the length of only one post.

>What made Gauntlet Legends and it's expansion so fucking perfect?

Senseless hack-and-slash is always fun, especially with flamboyant level designs and multiplayer capability.

What are some of your favorite (or recommended) co-op games, /vr/? That is, human (or human and CPU) allies working together, not human versus human.

I guess some fighting games also count, assuming they have co-op modes.
