Four player games on the 2600

[unsuperman]

I could only think of warlords and maybe video olympics.

Any others?

thanks

Breakout, Blackjack...

California Games, Winter Games and Summer Games, although not at the same time you can have up to 8-players competing.

Well, it could only be paddle-based games (at least as far as four-at-a-time is concerned). So that narrows it down considerably.

 

Blackjack's only 3-at-a-time, isn't it?

 

Here's the full list of paddle games:

Glancing over that list, here are the only others that come to mind for me as 4-player games:

 

Casino

Street Racer

Steeplechase

Decathlon, but you take turns on it.

Warlords [Atari] and Party Mix [starpath] as well...

You're right that Warlards had already been mentioned, but I don't think Party Mix had.

[shadow460]

Are you talking about simultaneous or taking turns?

 

Most of the simultaneous ones have been mentioned.

Add Fireball and Communist Mutants From Space (you gotta hand off the joysticks) to your list of games with alternating turns, though.

Party Mix is STUPID fun. We just had a visit with Big Player and we tried out all of the Party Mix games. They are a blast.

 

You can play Street Racer as 4-player, but I don't know why you would want to.

[frank_c]

didn't Video Pinball have a four player option?

[Raiu]

Nope. Games 1 and 3 are single-player, games 2 and 4 are two-player.

I have a mental block when the Starpath is mentioned... I have trouble acknowledging that it exists. Sorry!

 

BTW... "Warlards" (sic)...

The only drawback to Party Mix is that you need either four players or two to enjoy the games. We had three with the lovely pitfallaimee, Stan Jr and myself and so one of us had to sit out a round. I tried to get my brother to stop over but he had other plans. Something about taking a cruise on the Ohio river with his friends. Can't believe he gave up a day of Atari for that.

BP is not lying, I am lovely.

Pressure Gauge 2 was a 4-player paddle game too (and, I thought it was kinda fun, at least when testing it).

 

This topic has been raised before; I'm sure someone could provide a link to either that topic, or the link to PG2 in the Dig.

 

If anyone ever tries it out, drop me a line.
