However, in my opinion HOMEBREW has surpassed most of the official games so that a top 10 or 100 list can't be done these days without respecting homebrews.

I tried to play ULTIMATE SOCCER on the Mega Drive with 8 players couple of years ago. I had connected everything as described in the manual, but it didn't work. NBA JAM is supposed to be another game which should be playable with 8 players. Never saw a prove of that. The only thing which is true as I also tested it, is that MICROMACHINES 2 can be played with 8 players on 4 controllers, but that isn't really fun.

First played it around 1986 at a friends place but wasn't impressed anymore and prefered my brothers NES. came back to it in 2010 when I discovered by accident, that there exists a vivid homebrew scence. From this moment on I was finally impressed.

after years of party-events with my friends playing most of the homebrew games and some of the original games on the atari 2600 I can draw the following conclusion: 1. there are just very very few valuable four-player games on the atari and of course, these are just paddle-games. 2. the by far greatest of these four-player games is MEDIEVAL MAYHEM. 3. there are far more good two-player (simultaneous) games but there are just two games, that shine above all others: FALL DOWN and WARRING WORM RETURNS. 4. though very notebale games in this category are: SPACE ROCKS, followed by GO FISH, GUN FIGHT and COMBAT REDUX I also can draw the final conclusion, followed by the experience of lots of hours of laughter playing with my friends and playing almost any retro-system there is from 8bit to 128bit... ...that MEDIEVAL MAYHEM belongs to the top 3 multiplayer-games ever on any system and FALL DOWN is follwing-up as one of the top 10 two-player simultaneous games on any system!

As I understood from user cosmic stardust it is by no technical option possible to connect 3 devices. i'm pretty sure that two regular joysticks on one port arehnot possible for the same reason.

thank you. you made it very clear. too bad, since I enjoy to play many of the homebrews in multiplayer. so, makes no sence to buy it for me.

...but is it technically possible to wire up an atarivox to the 2-player port inside the case so that you could make use of both at the same time?

is there a way to connect atarivox and play with two players at the same time? how about if I would solder the atarivox inside the console case?

@albert: wow, that's impressing. I have just one modified atari junior but I hope it will stand the test of time for some more years as its multiplayer games took the highest attention over the last few years on my own party events: for over 15 years now we play once a year in a well-chosen group of people. there have been more than 50 offline-multiplayer games from all generations of consoles with many all time classics like bomberman, micromachines, mario kart, final match tennis, windjammers or california games. But none of them thrilled the crowd more than medieval mayhem and fall down. as long as we play party games, the atari 2600 will be the number one in therm of pure game fun. @davyK: yeah, I also used the "VCR-version" for some years, but it was always complicated and time consuming to set up and the picture quality is pretty bad compared to the modified version. on the other hand, it doesn't matter so much on the atari 2600.

so that's what i thought: you got a modified console. otherwise it would be very complicated (with an old VHS recorder or so). the framemeister is surely a good deal for scanlines but I assume thats not a big win with the 16 color 8-bit atari compared to other consoles :-)

how do you get to make an atari 2600 work on an projector in the US?

my favorite multiplayers (from the ones I know) are: 1. medieval mayhem 2. fall down 3. warring worms returns and so on: decathlon, circus atari, gunfight, combat

Hi there SpiceWare Remember me, I'm the one that posted one of the reviews at AA for MM I'm not much into technical know-how but since I wrote this review I found out that MM works perfectly fine on my old Epson Beamer with PAL60 option. I cannot tell you how much fun I and my colleagues had with this game ever since. I played almost all retro multiplayer (4 player and more) games out there but yours must be in the top 3 (in par with bomberman) and we will enjoy it surely many years to come. By the way: we are fortunated to play on a modified Atari 2600 with s-video and separate Hi-Fi output
