HammR25 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 So there were only two games made that support 4 players or am I missing something? The only ones I can find that support 4 players are: Super Breakout Beamrider That seems pretty pathetic. You'd think Atari would have made more than 1 game that supported 4 players.

Atari5200 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Is M.U.L.E. 4 player?? If so you can add it to your list though not an official 5200 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjb Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 How about Asteroids? The 8-bit computer version supports 4 players so I would think the 5200 version would as well? tjb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Mitch Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 And, is Beamrider really 4 player? Never noticed... Sort of, from what I remember it only uses two controllers trading off. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 It's homebrew, but Combat 2 is also four playered. That's all I can think of for simultanious play games though, but some of the games work four player non simult like Pac-man I believe is.

S1500 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 For a hardware vendor that made 4-port computers and video game systems, there sure seems to be quite a bit of 4-player simultaneous titles lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the XBOX there's another big ass system with four controller ports that were never utilized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammR25 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 (edited) I can think of several fighting games as well for the Xbox (Shrek, some super hero game....etc). My brother buys them for his kids because everyone can play together. Edited May 30, 2007 by HammR25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
