I want to know because I'm going to make a NES arcade cabinet over the winter and I wanted to make it a good two player game. The trouble is, I don't know any good two player arcade games on the NES. I'm not saying Contra (Contra is a really good one though) I'm saying like versus eachother. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Two players simultaneously, natch.

Hmm... Shadow of the Ninja? I think... Kinda like Ninja Gaiden meets Contra. I believe American Sammy published it.

TMNT: The Arcade Game, of course, and possibly TMNT3.

Guerilla War.... Jackal..... umm... Not too much else was DAMN FUN.

You've definately gotta pick up all of those old Arcade Series NES games like Mario Bros. and Galaga and stuff for sure.

Double Dragon 2 is a good 2 player game. But I cant think of any that you play against eachother except for Mario Bros and Karate Champ which is horrid

Well of course! You cant make an NES arcade cabinet without the old Arcade games!

TMNT3 was far better then the second one. It doesn't have the noteriety of being an arcade game port, but its just so much more fun.

SMB3, Ice Climber, World Cup Soccer, Life Force, Tengen Tetris, Battletoads & Double Dragon, there's just alot of good multiplayer NES games.

MULE!!!

Try "Goal" if youre into soccer games, my cousin and i used to play that for hours.

Super Dodge Ball is another really cool two-player vs. game.

Agreed, TMNT III was IMO the best TMNT game of them all.

Definitely agree. I've played this one with a friend a couple of times and it's great. It really pushes the NES limits.

If I were doing a NES cabinet, I would choose Dodge Ball. I played that game for endless hours against friends back then.
