@JoetatoChip@minrice2099@RiotDemon my little brother bought this for me and my two older brothers a few years ago on Steam. We wore it out for hours on end one weekend. Super fun game that plays just like the original side scrollers
@capguncowboy@JoetatoChip@minrice2099@RiotDemon If you liked that then check out Battleblock Theater! Every so often my wife and I find a game that we just absolutely burn through for a few days, and this was the first one. Worth playing if only for the cutscenes
@DavidChurchRN I have to admit that I am not totally sure what we are talking about, especially given some of the answers. Not every “4-person cooperative arcade game” is a “Konami beat-'em-up” (or even a beat-'em-up). Gauntlet is definitely the former, and almost undeniably not the latter.
I picked The Simpsons because the Bart-Lisa team attack was so noisy and distracting with the both of them yelling and all, it was brilliant! That thing in attract mode brought the tweens a-running.
@PocketBrain I re-played The Simpsons a year or so ago, and the sheer loudness of the game was something that I had completely forgotten from my youth. Toss in the hectic animation and you’ve got one heck of a sensory overload experience. Got my vote.
Apparently I missed these games between my childhood and my arcade playing adulthood. I love the dual player games Konami makes, Time Crisis and others. Really fun way to drop $20 in a short period of time.
Omg. Probably all of them. Maybe Simpsons or TMNT because my friend and I would skateboard to the convenience store to play. That’s going back y-e-a-r-s
Gauntlet
@eVil
@eVil Elf shot the food.
@eVil When I’m hungry, I still say
Smyle needs food badly
Gauntlet. Although it may have only been three players. But my choice stands.
@dangerweasel It was 4 player. See above.
@dangerweasel @eVil There was also a 2-player cabinet, but nobody wanted to play that one.
@dangerweasel @PocketBrain Interesting! I don’t think I ever saw one of those in person, and I spent a LOT of time in arcades…
Who had time for this sort of thing? You think the batteries are just going to put themselves in the fridge? Personal responsibility, people.
@shahnm They will one day. One day the batteries will do everything themselves.
One day.
Castle Crashers! Sure it may not be an arcade game in the literal ‘arcade cabinet’ sense, but it definitely is in spirit.
@minrice2099 I miss being on Newgrounds…
@minrice2099 @RiotDemon It’s on Steam now.

@JoetatoChip I didn’t mean the game. The people that made the game came from Newgrounds.
I feel sorry for the childhood’s of everyone who said “what the hell are we talking about.”
@DavidChurchRN thank you. It was awful playing 4 player games at home without lugging quarters around or huddling crammed around a small TV.

Golden Axe! (That was 4-player right?)

Going back and looking at them I always had the most fun with the D&D beat 'em ups. I have my MAME cabinet running Shadow over Mystara attract whenever I have it on.

There we go, not sure why the image didn’t work.

Turtles In Time? I played that for the SNES.
THIS is my favorite Ninja Turtles Arcade game:
If you thought it was anything but TMNT: Turtles in Time, I’m not sure you can be trusted with anything, ever.
