    Also, I would check out Bub n' Bob Brothers, a Bubble Bobble clone suitable for 1 to 8 players via Internet, LAN or hotseat. Pure greatness.

    sounds nice...the music of the first bubble bobble is awesome...as well the whole game is a pure classic....played the nes and c64 version

    btw i have added the streets of rage remake for pc to the list which is pretty good.

    Bub N' Bob Bros is definitely worth a download, maybe we could even setup an online coop play. Let me know if you want to try.
    I played Streets of Rage remake with a friends a few days ago, good stuff. I'm still waiting for a Final Fight remake

    Thats really nice list! SMW looks great. And SorR should be real fun!

  • AuthenticKaizen

    Posted Jul 20, 2008 7:33 am PT

    indeed. SMW is pure greatness!
    it would be totally awesome if the developers integrate lan and internet game...currently its only playable on one pc)

    anyways...
    there are 4 match types:

    single game
    tournament
    tour
    world (offers a map like in super mario bros 3)

    here are the 21 game modes:

    classic
    frag limit
    time limit
    jail
    coin collection
    stomp
    yoshis eggs
    capture the flag
    chicken
    tag
    star
    domination
    king of the hill
    race
    owned
    frenzy
    survival
    greed
    health
    card collection
    phanto

    check out the well done readme that comes along with the game which describes the game modes etc.

    really? the multiplayer part is a big part of the game.
