Sonaru Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Is there a list somewhere of 4 player compatible games? If not, maybe we can compile the 4 player games here. What are the best simultaneous 2 player games for the Bally Arcade? What are the best 4 player games for the Bally Arcade? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonaru Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Also where can someone find replacement controllers? I can't find any online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapitanClassic Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 There are only a few 4 player games for the Astrocade. (I dont count Blackjack, Bowling, or other non-simultaneous games.) https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/platforms/games/77 Of these, Checkmate is an excellent surround variant, Red Barron is a fun version of Biplanes (combat clone), Football is quite fun (before Tecmo Bowl (NES) came out, and Demolition Derby is a fun party game to smash your opponents car. Checkmate (builtin) Scribble (builtin) Red Baron/Panzer Attack Football Soccer Tornado Baseball/Tennis/Hockey/Handball Gran Prix/Demolition Derby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my favorite two-player games on the Astrocade is Dog Patch, which my friend and I play in this video: Episode 7 of the Bally Alley Astrocast from February 2017 covers Dog Patch and O-Jello (a BASIC game): https://ballyalleyastrocast.libsyn.com/podcast/bally-alley-astrocast-episode-7-dog-patch-and-o-jello Some people find Dog Patch too simple, but when played against a good player, then the gameplay becomes quite hectic.

I've only played it a handful of times with four players, but it's a blast to play that way. I like "War" better than the Atari version on the 2600 because holding onto the fireball causes damage to the player's own castles, which discourages overuse of holding onto it for too long.

Chris+++ Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 More games than I thought. Do I sense an upcoming four-player Bally session with you, me, Brian and Christopher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, you still have not met Christopher, have you?!? He's coming by the day after you come over next week. The timing is off by a day. A four-player "War" competition would be fun; we certainly have got enough locals here for it. Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
