Well i am a little to young to have been around for the atari days (im 19) and i just bought the tv games 2 player paddle games. Me and my friends had a blast playing pong and foosball and the other games but we had a total blast playing the arcade version of warlords that was included as well.

I dont think we have ever had that much fun or laughed that hard while playing a video game. We were instantly tunred into warlord junkies.

Now here is where the problem came in. It was not soon enough that we were craving for 4 player warlords and wish that the company had come out with a 4 player paddle games or a way to link up two systems (will never happen though).

So what is the cheapest way to get some 4 player warlords action. Should i hop on ebay and buy the game/ system with 4 paddle controllers? Is the atari console version the same as the arcade? We just really want to play this game with 4 players as it would be a riot. thanks

I wonder if AnalogMame+ supports 4 spinners (I think it does).  You could then do that and have 4 spinners.  The console version is a lot different graphically than the arcade version.  IMO the console one is faster.  I enjoy playing both actually.  It is one of my favorite games of all time.

Trenchbroom:

The 2600 version is on the same controller.  I think it's a little better than the arcade version because it only has one ball and no dragon.  Allows for a little more strategy when playing against human foes.  

Great feeling to juke your friend out, take your shot, get the ball caught behind his shield (because he moved to block your shot a 1/2 second too late and the ball bounced back on him) and watch him lose half of his castle!

My favorite all-time 4-p paddle game is Video Olympics on the 2600.

There are versions of the different games on it (notably volleyball) that allow for ALOT of strategy.
Volleyball has a "spike" option, where you can jump your paddle up alot higher by pushing the button.
Some of the 4-p soccer/foosball/pong type games allow for strategy too because the "front" guy can change the english the "back" guy put on a ball, and alter its course to the goal.
