| I think TV sports is the best game for two-player games. I think
it is the best because you can be on the same team instead of against
each other.

| Firepower is good but that is a non-cooperative (you against him/her)
two-player game. What's nice is that it is done split screen so you
both play happily at the same time and even has one-player and modem
modes.

Plutos is a good fast 2 player cooperative game. However I agree
that there are not enough good two player games out there. I will
no longer buy a game if it is not two player.
Also Earl Weaver Baseball is a good game.

| 2248.4 | Bubble Bobble, Zoom | LOWLIF::DAVIS | That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE! | Fri Feb 17 1989 16:38 | 11 |
| If you want something different than the 'ol shoot-em-up, try Bubble Bobble
by Taito. You're a "cute little" dinosaur that has to blow bubbles on the
bad guys and then pop them.
Also, Zoom is not too bad. Warning: This one is by Discovery Software and
is copy protected out the ... shutter. The two-player mode is kinda rotten
because if one guy dies, it makes you both start that level over. It's a
pain if you play with someone that dies a lot.

| 2248.5 | Falcon! | UFP::LARUE | Jeff LaRue - MAA Senior Network Consultant | Fri Feb 17 1989 17:05 | 7 |
| I guess I'd have to consider Falcon to be one of the better 2 player
games...heck, in the single player mode it's challenging enough!!
Also, there are the Tele-War games......basically a two-player (via
modems, etc.) set of "Avalon Hill" like board games.

| 2248.6 | Add these to the list | EVER11::HOSFORD | | Tue Feb 21 1989 10:32 | 7 |
| The is also Time Bandit, Enerald Mine, Marble Madness, and Leatherneck.
In all of these you are on the same side. Emerald Mine is like Bolder
Dash, Time Bandit, and Leatherneck are shootem up types, and Marble
madness is like wierd.

| 2248.7 | DataStorm | CAM::ARENDT | Harry Arendt CAM:: | Mon Dec 04 1989 11:04 | 38 |
| I bought Datastorm this weekend because I loved to play defender.
The game is good but not as playable as I would like. It is too
fast! Can you believe it? Actually with a slight modification of
the control parameters and some different joystick stuff it would
be a little better. Maybe the new gravis joystick would be better?
This is definitely a bang-bang shoot-em-up.
A few facts;
1. The up/down motion responds very fast however with the joystick
in the level position the ship tends to sink by itself which
is a pain because it will not hover and rises and sinks to fast.
2. Direction is controlled by the right and left of the joystick.
This is not as good as having a reverse direction and a thrust
button or a reverse direction and have the current direction
be thrust and the reverse be braking. The problem with the
current scheme is that when I stopped forward motion there
was a marked tendency to reverse direction, this made shooting
at a fast moving target very difficult. However shooting in
both direction was easy.
3. The fast targets were killers.
4. Two player modes were fun. There were 4 modes.
a. One player.
b. Two players alternate with one joystick.
b. Two players alternate with two joysticks.
b. Two players together.
5. I was unable to back up the game using marauder.
Overall I would give this game;
10 - Graphics & Sound
7 - Joystick motion.
8 - Overall play.
