Id say, obviously, that any game had to be multiplayer titles... trying to beat high scores on single player games is no fun... You dont want to be there watching some other guy play...
No PC titles... theres no fun sitting around a desk playing a game... you need to be stuck in the lounge, joypad in hand, on big comfy seats, lots of space, near the kitchen with plenty of platforms to hurredly store drinks of food on as your turn to play crops up... (No handhelds either... their far too small and fiddily late at night... besides, I want everyone to laugh at the failure of others :) )
Not too complicated and instant action... Left, Right, Up, Down and kill will do fine... I've had a few drinks, I dont want to spend the rest of the evening tactically guessing my opponents five moves ahead... I'm after tight, action packed gameplay where I can activly taunt other players, and rub it in their faces when I cross the finish line before them, or blow their heads off with a very large gun
For me, the never beaten classics have to be
(SNES) Mario Kart
(SNES) Street Fighter 2
A little SNES influences maybe...
(I had a Megadrive, but it didnt really have the multiplayer titles avalible, so it was mainly used as a door stop)
So how about you... which are THE games to play after a night at your local?
Which can you slam into your games box with the sure-fire knowledge that your gonna have a good laugh?

Track and field is so boring, it's only playable when drunk.
Track and Field games.
Drunken, red faced lads mashing the pad with their hands trying to get little man to run/swim/throw something, only to give up halfway through and usually fart through exertion, leaving non-drinking player (me usually) to romp home to victory.
Ok, so it's against drunken mates, but I still win.

I can recommend a few title's but instead play Football (in real life). You won't be able to stop laughing as you boot the ball at your mate only to find it sails off target. Mind you, I've been known to laugh at lamp posts when i'm drunk!!!
STRIP DOA2!
For me the best is a bit of Goldeneye. We used to set it to 'you only live twice' and the first 2 to die took a shot of vodka. By the end of the evening you are all rolling from the mixed drinks and regularly meet your donner again!
DOA2!
Mario Kart 64, or Pro Evo are the best multiplayer games, whether sober or not........
It's just when your drunk, everything seems much slower, funnier and much more difficult, but everyone has the same problems, so it just gets so damned funny.
:D
