King of Dragons – Another great Capcom brawler. Gain Ground – Most ports were 2 player, but this is a surprisingly addictive slow-paced game for 3 players. This one is also known as “Devil World,” but I couldn’t get that version to work for 3 players.ĭouble Dragon 3 – So bad it’s good? Maybe. Predator – Pure Capcom gold with an exceptionally deep fighting system for a brawlerĪrmored Warriors – Another Capcom gem with gorgeous Mech graphics.ī.Rap Boys – Absurd game from the mid-90’s, so goofy that it’s fun.īattletoads – Rare made this 3 player “Battletoads” without all that pesky console censorship, think constant cartoonish fatalities.īrute Force – So bad it’s good brawler from Leland in 1991.Ĭadillacs and Dinosaurs – Absolute classic from Capcom, must playĬombattribes – I remember this one in the arcade, pseudo-super deformed “Double Dragon” art style and over the top beat ‘em up action.ĭark Adventure – Gauntlet clone, but with bizarre monsters and story. These are all games that can be played with a digital joystick and normal arcade buttons.Īlien Storm – The US version allows for 3 players, gets a little samey, but has good graphics.Īliens VS. You might also have to set up the coin slots, or make it so that all players can insert coins, if there are only 2 coin slots for all players.

So almost all of these 3 and 4 player games are drawn from the "killer" lists. I run Hyperspin booting into a favorites list that is a combination of most of the "All Killer No Filler" lists that are pinned in the thread at the top of the Main BYOAC forum, as well as other choice games that weren't part of the lists.
Have a look at the lists and let me know if you think I should add or remove any games. Recently, I finally got around to making proper XML's for 3 player and 4 player games, so that, when I have that many players, we don't have to sift through all the games or even the hundreds of favorites to find a good game.
