Title: Best 2 players games (to beat an eleven years old monster)
Post by: genesis8 on 18:44, 23 November 14

Hi,

Being beaten to pulp by a monster of 11 years old on PS3 and xbox 360, I would like to know what you think are the best 2 players games (like the way of the exploding fist) to be able to recover a little bit of my honor.

Thanks in advance.

Harvey Headbanger (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=1060) was always a great competition game we used to play as kids.
I was crap at it, though!

Could not agree more. Harvey is one of the best 2 player games on any system ever.

Although I'd also put Gauntlet (and Deeper Dungeons) in the list too.

Battle mode of Megablasters. Doesn't matter if you find two other monsters who play with you. :-)

There was this game with the helicopter and the truck... SWIV or something similar.

I have to suggest Spitting Image but with the proviso that the 11 year old can only choose characters he can tell you something about ;)

Aside from that, Gauntlet is always a brilliant choice. Penguins is a fun choice too, as is Forgotten Worlds and Silkworm.

Is it just 2 player games in general? Or is it just the ones where you gotta beat the other player as opposed to co-operating?

Could also be Silkworm, where you'll have to collaborate.

SWIV was a sequel to Silkworm, as I recall. Didn't it stand for SilkWorm IV?

Then what did SWIV II mean? :D

SWIV supposedly stood for "Special Weapons Intercept Vehicles"

SWIV was never really meant to be a sequel.

... anyway... going back to 2 player competitive games;

Sai Combat (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=1862) (or any 2 player fight game; Barbarian, IK, IK+, WotEF, etc)
Scalextric (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=1881) (came free with my 6128... back in the day and in modern times!)
Spy Vs Spy (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=2040) (any of the three really, but I particularly love the ROM version of the original)
Western Games (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=1842) (very pretty for a 1987 game)
Hotshot (http://www.cpc-power.com/index.php?page=detail&num=176) (make sure you change your name to TOJOI, 'cos he's the best character to play as)
Anything that has the words 'SIMULATOR' and 'CODEMASTERS' in it... as theses games were all pretty much the same game with different MODE 1 sprites; not unlike EA Sports games of these modern times! ^_^

I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned any of the following yet...

Target Renegade
Yie Ar Kung Fu
Operation Thunderbolt
IK+

Edit: Ok so IK+ was mentioned... my bad!

Both actually provide nice two player modes.

Rampage and Target Renegade were among my favourites back in the day, and some IK+ didn't go amiss either.

Rampage was a popular one in my house because it's one of those games that is technically co-operative but getting into fights with the other players makes it even more fun.

This is also why we need that cngsoft Parasol Stars. Another great game for 2 players where they can screw each other over (being able to pick up your 'friend' and throw them across the screen and all the bonuses they collect go into your score, is just so sweeeeet).

OMG! Your species is so violent. How can you humans survive in the galaxy when you are busy fighting each other. :o
