Best one-screen local multiplayer games?

Post by Thermoptic »

I love one-screen games that you can play locally with friends. I would like some more games to the list of one-screen games. What are your favorites? The "rules" are one-screen, non-scrolling static screens. And must have at least support for 2 players.

Here are some of my favorite games:

Bubble Bobble (multi)
Balloon Fight (nes)
Super Mario War (Xbox,Pc,Dreamcast)
Chuchu Rocket! (Dreacast)
Mario Bros Classic Series (Nes)
Monsters Of Terror (Amiga)
Wizard of Wor (c64)
Bomberman (multi)
Bratwurst (Amiga)

Super Smash Bros (N64), melee (GC) and brawl (Wii) are all good choices.

Also, Ice Hockey for the NES is a surprisingly good hockey game.
