"Alright then you Snes Retro freaks, recommendations please."

I've downloaded some Snes (and MegaDrive) emulators onto the school networks. Everythings in place, only I want a standard set of games to get.

Although I can think of hundreds of great single player games, this being at school, I want the focus on multiplayer. It's only two player but that's fine.

So tell me, what are the Snes multiplayer classics?

I've got:
StreetFighter 2 Turbo
Bomberman 3 (one bomberman game is enough so don't recommend other ones)
Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension
Mario All Stars (for Mario 3's battle game)

I've even put Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario World and Super Metroid on too, although I might take them off...


So what are your Snes (and MegaDrive) multiplayer recommendations.

And don't you DARE recommend me a single RPG!
Yes, Harvest Moon, Final Fantasy, Zelda, they're all classics, but they encourage people to hog the computer!

Thank you. :-)

CANNON FODDER

Contra 3!

And Kirby's Dreamcourse is essential!

Killer Instinct.
Only joking
Sensible Soccer (only if you don't like RPGs though)

No no no, not Secret of Mana, Earthbound!

And Super Metroid, oh yes.

Meh. I remember Secret Of Mana. Was good. Shame I never completed it. I remember getting past the jungle bit and fighting some girl and then there was some bit with being shipwrecked, and then after that some roman looking city... don't remember anything after that, that was probably as far as I got before my SNES was sold... :(

Look you fools.

FOOLS.

The best game ever is Secret of Mana.

Yer, was Maximum Carnage. There was also a sequel Seperation Anxiety. Though I doubt they'd work too well on a keyboard.

I'd say Mario Kart for Multiplayer.

And Earthbound for an RPG. :P

Seriously, Earthbound rules.

Three words...
STUNT RACE FX!

then there is

Mario Kart (obviously)
Rock n Roll Racing
Mortal Kombat
F-ZERO!!
Killer Instinct

Damn, I've forgotten, I'll get back to you with the rest....

There was a Probotectopr game!?
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
I loved Probotector on the NES

That's not really saying much is it...

Thought it was a great game.

Final Fight games rock in multiplayer, oh and there's some Spiderman side scrolling fighter that rocked as well. Not sure how well these games will fair with the keyboard controls though...
