Its just too hard to compare cross-console games IMO. Here is my list of best first published games by console (I've been pure PC since the N64 so I stop my list there). I am sticking with the multiplayer theme of course.

NES
1) Contra
2) Super Dodge Ball
3) River City Ransom
Honorable Mention: Russian Attack

SNES
1) Secret of Mana
2) Super Mario Kart
3) Street Fighter II
Honorable Mention: Mortal Combat, Killer Instinct, Super Smash TV

Sega Genesis
1) Gauntlet IV
2) Streets of Rage
3) Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Honorable Mention: Altered Beast

N64
Goldeneye 007

Do you play seriously?

It gets harder and harder to find people who play fighters seriously.

Only reason I dont like goldeneye, is because when you play multiplayer, the spawn points for when you die go in a specific order, so if you play one level enough, you can start running to your opponent's next spawn point before they can get a decent weapon...

one of my cousins could do this in the temple, and I couldnt stand playing him...

I think it's more fun with more than two people playing.

That's Rush 'n Attack

Details details, my brother and I always called it Russian attack because we knew who the real enemies in the game were. We still play it at my parents beach cottage where they keep an NES out for renters.

Yeah I know, I'm sure the similarity was intentional. I loved that game when I was a kid.

heh, you gotta be kidding me. i shoulda competed.

i was at the point where my core trio mag/storm/sent // mag/psy/cam was too ridiculous in arcades to bother with anymore. my fingers had the infinites memorized so well i had to physically turn my game down to keep people popping their quarters in.


started playing with freaking zangief, crissakes.

Super Smash Bro. is the best. me and my friends would spend entire days playing that game. I rock with Samus but i could never beat my friend with Captian Falcon or fox. He got a gamecube and got Melee. it's ok but the original is still beter imo.
