+grips03 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'm thinking of picking up an Atari 7800 to play with my 8 year old son. Are there any 2 players at the same games for this console? Ideally the 2 human players would be on the same team. Perhaps Commando or Ikari warrior type game. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakasama Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 You could try Robotron. One guy controls the character and the other just shoots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8th lutz Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) Double Dragon and Rampage also are games that you can have 2 player at the same time besides the ones mention. The 7800 version of Double Dragon though isn't that great though. Rampage is more fun as two player game than as a single player game. I played this game a lot in the early 1990's with friends and with my younger brother. Edited October 24, 2012 by 8th lutz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not fighting but centipede and asteroids are great for two player at the same time team play. Also rip off is fun two player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Any place besides ebay to pick these up. Xenophobe, Rampage, Ikari warriors are expensive. I just bought Asteroids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqoon Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Any place besides ebay to pick these up. Xenophobe, Rampage, Ikari warriors are expensive. I just bought Asteroids Atari2600.com is very reasonable on prices and highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I'd also suggest placing a WTB thread in the marketplace here. You can often get good deals from forum members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Any of the sports games and Ballblazer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursday83 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 PacManPlus's Space Invaders, Asteroids Deluxe, Space Duel....all feature 2 players at once. You can't beat 2-player Centipede. So fun. All the sports games, Joust, Mario Bros., Double Dragon, Rampage, Xenophobe, Ballblazer, Asteroids, Robotron 2084.....all are great 2 player at once rockers.

Rex Dart Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ... Robotron? Isn't that like claiming Megaman supports two simultaneous players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.O.T.S Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Joust would be the best one in my opinion providing you both become proficient with the hovering technique involved,it is a real pity Fatal Run was not two player as i have always thought that would've been awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 You could try Robotron. One guy controls the character and the other just shoots. This is my favorite two-player game on the 7800. Mainly because a lot of two-player cooperative games in general rely on both players working independently. But when both players are used to control the same guy, suddenly you're introduced to a whole new level of cooperation. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
