You can connect 4 paddles to the #atari2600. In those days when we still had friends, a chance to play with three of them simultaneously was priceless.
And Warlords 1981 provided a unique opportunity to kick 3 of your friends' asses... simultaneously.

The Lost Vikings 1993
Erik, Olaf and Baleog get kidnapped by Tomator for an inter-galactic zoo. My dream was to play 3 characters at the same time with my friends. It would ruin the gameplay of this #puzzle #platformer, but as a child it never occurred to me.

OK @MJLambert_ @OakalyDokaly and probably another 6529 people with memory better then mine, mentioned that Micro Machines wasn't the first racing game by Codemasters. My bad!
Grand Prix Simulator 1987 was! 14 tracks to #race single or coop vs comp

Speaking of Boulder Dash, my favorite clone is Supaplex. I like the graphic theme with #diskettes, electrons and microchips. The most amazing thing for me was how the developers managed to make so many of such difficult levels.

Fishing Derby (1980)
One of the firsts #games released by #Activision. You can play vs your friend or AI. Always choose the left player because it has "one row advantage" and watch out for the shark!

Jazz Jackrabbit (1994)
It's a blast to run around levels as fast as Sonic and use a gun to kill your enemies! Different types of ammunition such as rocker, toaster, RF missile, and dynamite. And don't forget to get a #bird.

Comanche: Maximum Overkill (1992)
The goal of the game is to fly military missions in a RAH-66 #Comanche attack helicopter and blow the targets. This was exactly one of those #games where you can perfectly play with a friend "you fly, I shoot".

River Raid (1982) is one of the coolest #games I had on my #Atari. The game has been noted for the great level design. And a little tip. To get more points it's safe to shoot all the fuel tanks before the first bridge, at least.

Pitfall! (1982)
One of the best-selling #games on the #Atari 2600, with over 4 mil copies sold. The game might look primitive by modern standards but it has hundreds of screens with traps, enemies. And all code and data fits in 4kb.

We found out that keyboard doesn't register properly simultaneous key presses for 4 hands. so we even had agreement not to hold buttons long :)
Prince of Persia (1990) was a great leap forward in the quality of #animation seen in computer #games. Designer used as reference for the characters' movements videos of his younger brother doing acrobatic stunts.

Babytype (1993) isn't a "game", it's a blind typing tutor. The reason it's an interesting app is it had #gamification features when there wasn't even such a word invented.

Worms 1995 from "Team 17" (#Overcooked publisher). I always liked multiplayer and competition spirit in games. And I played hot seat a lot. But in this game I mostly been killed with a grenade or a rocket launcher by myself.
