4 Player games

Any other four-player games along the lines of Shuuz? That game seems to get played the most at my parties mostly because four players can play alternating.

Not looking for 4-player simultaneous game.  Looking for 4-player alternating.

Thanks.

There are some 4 player bowling games.  I can't remeber their names offhand.  Sorry!

Ha ha...  Same here.  When there are a lot of people over it always turns into an all-night Shuuz-a-thon.  Either that or Hat Trick one-on-one, rotating players with whoever loses.

The ones I know are pretty awful and don't ever get played.

You're not calling capcom bowling awful I hope:)

There's also World Championchip Bowling and Shuffleshot.

If you have the adequate control panel buttons, Track and Field and Hypersports are always winners for 4 players.

Coors Light Bowling and Capcom Bowling are essentially the same game.  World Class Bowling is better in my opinion.

I'll add another vote for Shuffleshot.

I wanted to try out Ameridarts, but apparently I have a bad ROM.

I haven't quite gotten the hang of American Horseshoes yet. Shuuz is easier.

Track and Field is the most popular party game at our house, it's not 4 player alternating for every event, sprint and hurdles are 2 at a time but all the other events are 4 player alternating.

Is AmeriDarts playable in any version of MAME?

I get a warning abou No Good Dump and the graphics are corrupted.  There is also a message about the encryption not being fully emulated.

Never mind, I checked the WIP page and I see that it will be a while before this game is fixed.
