Good 3-4 Player Simultaneous Games (Any Platform) Currently Available on MiSTer?
Good 3-4 Player Simultaneous Games (Any Platform) Currently Available on MiSTer?
So of all the console gaming from my childhood, not a single one of myself or my friends ever had the gizmo for a console to allow 3 or 4 player simultaneous play.
What good games are currently available on MiSTer that are 3-4 simultaneous player compatible? Don't care what platform they are on, as long as they are fun. (Atari 2600 Warlords would qualify if there was a way to make 4 paddles work.) Interested in all genres except for RPGs. There seems to be several Capcom arcade games available, but which ones are good?

SNES - Bomberman 5
English patches are available, it's up to 4 players. (I think you can squeeze in a 5th player)
IMO the best Bomberman out there.

Thanks everyone for the contributions. Yeah Gauntlet and Bomberman is pretty much all I was familiar with going into this search. AngelicLiver, it's an impressive list you found there. Instead of a "Here's EVERYTHING" list, I was hoping someone else had already weeded out all the lame crap and got to just the good stuff, but THANK YOU! for posting that because it was a great starting point for research. I started by drilling down to one console at a time, starting with SNES, and then watching youtube vids and reading comments. Here's some good looking stuff I've found so far (for SNES):
International Superstar Soccer Deluxe - Apparently the best soccer game on SNES. And 4 player ready.
Smash Tennis - Looks entertaining if a little booze is available and 3 friends can come over.
Super Tetris 3 - Tetris for 4p simultaneous, win.
Tiny Toon Adventures - Wild & Wacky Sports. A goofy 4p version of Track And Field, peeps seem to love it.
Top Gear 3000 - Impressive. A racing game that can split the screen into quadrants for 4p.
I'll keep looking. I'm especially interested in Neo Geo and Arcade options. Jotego released a bunch of 3p/4p stuff with his amazing work on the CPS.

Super Sprint on Atari ST (and probably other platforms).
Edit: scratch that, the Atari ST core does not seem to support dual joysticks.

Guess you mean quad-joysticks. Shame, you could be playing the ST Guantlet 2 instead of Arcade. For some reason.
