So, I've got a pretty decent collection of single player games, but I really want to be able to play Famicom with my friends. That said, what are some really good multi-player games? There are already a few I have in mind, such as Ganbare Goemon 2, Contra, Western Kids... are there any I'm missing? I don't want JUST action games, but maybe some good puzzle games as well. I kind of want to have a variety. I'll also keep a list on this first post for others who want to find some good multi-player games as well. Thanks!

Ganbare Goemon 2
Contra
Western Kids

Can't go wrong with the Nekketsu games, great for 2-4 multi-player.

I found two more threads with similar topics, but there was another one with lots of good suggestions that I couldn't find.

I have Bubble Bobble game but it has only 1 player option, is there really a 2 player version available?

I'm all about M.U.L.E. and for a Famicom only title - check out Wits! It's like a 4-player Tron Light cycle game, but super heroes and the ability to jump! It was fan translated some time ago. Shouldn't be hard to find.

2 players simultaneously was like the main selling point of the game (it's said the game was designed with couples in mind). The only version of Bubble Bobble that is 1 player only that I'm aware of is the Gameboy version (although that's a great version with a different story). The FDS and the NES versions both have 2 player option on the initial menu.

Do you have a pirate version? I don't see why hackers would remove such a feature though.

The last 2 player games I really enjoyed:

- Crisis Force
- Final Mission
- RodLand
- Son Son
- TMNT 2

Could it be the rare Bubble Bobble 2? That game is one player only. The regular (and more enjoyabble) Bubble Bobble has 2 players.

Bubble Bobble 2 has 2 player alternating turns, and so has Rainbow Island.
