crom1970 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks for the list, my 10-yr old son and I played Frogs and Flies and MAD yesterday. Good Times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas10e Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 no one mentioned Co-Op Space Invaders ( I like standard Co-Op play myself #33 ) another interesting thing I've done is play most all variations of Combat in one sitting, possibly skipping a couple maze variations & swapping controllers for the 1~vs~3 variants it's nice when I have my younger nephews excitedly ask if I brought my console to play some Warlords ... I keep a setup in a "go-bag" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwan-iwanowitsch-goratschin Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Indy 500 and Joust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philflound Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I definitely would go with Maze Craze, since it was easy to lure the other player into following you. Warlords technically isn't 2 player, but I'd put that in my top list too. Any sports game is better 2 player than against the computer. Wizard of Wor is cool for the fact you work together.

+save2600 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Joust, Mario Bros., Wizard of Wor, Super Breakout, Space Invaders, Combat of course, and... Super Challenge Baseball! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr SQL Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Joust, Mario Bros., Wizard of Wor, Super Breakout, Space Invaders, Combat of course, and... Super Challenge Baseball! Agree on Wizard of War, Joust and Combat save2600. I think Pong variants/Video Olympics have better two player action than Breakout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFWarrior Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Agreed on Armor Ambush, love that game (and I played Combat from launch). Video Olympics is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisrael Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Ha, old thread! I tooted my own horn about JoustPong but now I'll throw in http://alienbill.com/loaded4bear/ -- both are solid head to head games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis8Atari Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 My favorite two play Atari 2600 game is Realsports Volleyball. (And I don't like sports) But I think this has the most fun two player gameplay for the system. Also great: Frogs & Flies, Warlords, Maze Craze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckwalla Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 When I had a reliable gaming buddy it was Indy 500 and Combat - great gaming times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rexreed Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I absolutely love Sears Telegames Maze. I do not remember the Atari name but Maze with two people would make us laugh and also get really angry growing up. Tank Plus was another gem and as a really young child Target Fun was a beast. I remember playing with my dad and hearing those Target Fun sounds brings me back in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donssword Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Fishing Derby by Activision. I second Frogs & Flies, just don't forget to toggle the difficulty switch. And I'm saying Combat, just because it really is that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Dodge 'Em I was just asking about classic 2P at same time games that would hold the interest of pre-teens / teens. VectorGamer make a video rating all of them one after another as playing same time fun rating. They are not all paddle games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acelkin Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Well, since this post was revived, I'll go with G.I. Joe. My 21 year old son came over the other day & we played it for about an hour, got 50,000 points, which is way better than I can get solo on it. I never owned this one BITD, just got it a few weeks ago. Lots of fun, there's even a 3 player option where you can play as 'The Cobra'!

bigfriendly Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 M-network Super Challenge Football. Always fun to juke your opponent out and get additional yardage. Also liked to break coverage to get open for the pass reception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
