What are the best 4 player games on the MiSTer that don't require a Patreon account? Anyone tried 4 player Mario Kart 64 yet?

There are seversl 4 player games on NES, PC Engine, SNES, and N64. None of those cores require a Patreon.

NES
Gauntlet II
Micro Mages
Super Off Road
RC Pro AM II

PC Engine
Bomberman 93
Bomberman 94
Dungeon Explorer
Moto Roader

SNES
Super Bomberman (any version: 1, 2, 3, 4 ,5)
NBA Jam
Super Puyo Puyo 2 Remix
Top Gear 3000
Micro Machines 1 and 2
(+ plenty of sports games)

N64
Mario Kart 64
Super Smash Bros
FZero X
Dr Mario 64
Goldeneye 007
Gauntlet Legends
Diddy Kong Racing

If that list is not enough, there are also 4-player games for PS1 and Saturn, and more across all systems if you count turn-based games (e g. MULE and Robot Rascals for Apple II and C64)

Should be plenty to keep you busy :)

Aren't quite a few of the arcade cores open to public now? CPS 1 and 2 have quite a few solid Capcom beat em ups.

Thanks for this list. Has anyone tried any of those N64 games? Any particularly good PS1 or Saturn 4-player games?

Is FIFA on Mega Drive good with 4?

Any 4-player ones? I'm waiting for The Simpsons and TMNT to come out of beta.

Lots of 4 player arcade games are on it. The 2 Dungeons & Dragons games on CPS 2 are 4 players. In fact, I believe a lot of the CPS 2 games are more than 2 players.

Yes they have all been tried and they all work great.

Saturn has an 10 player Bomberman. Not sure MiSTer supports that many controllers though :lol:
Street Racer supports up to 8 players
Death Tank Zwei 7 players
Guardian Heroes 6 players
And there's several other 5 and 4 player games

  • Sneech (8 player light cycles game)

  • Achtung! Die Kurve (6 player light cycles game with curved lines, keyboard control (2 keys per player))

Im shocked we went this far down the list and no one has mentioned one the greatest 4 player games of all time:

M.U.L.E. on the Atari 8-bit.
