Four Player Simultaneous Shmups

Moreo Twinbee for the Famicom/FDS has three players. It was removed from the US Stinger version, though.

Cool... too bad they removed it, though. Was this before the Satellite or Four Score, so you couldn't do 4-player US games?

On that note, it's too bad that the two accessories are incompatible and you can't attach a Japanese multitap (or light gun) to your US NES, so to play Japanese games that require accessories you actually need a Famicom. The US did get a lot of the better games, but not every single one. And then there's things like Castlevania III and the Famicom Disk Drive that require a Famicom for you to hear the improved music... an AV Famicom with Japan-to-US adapter for your US games would probably be the best setup. It would be a lot easier if a US system could do it, though... oh well.

subspace (now called continuum) is a great game and everyone should try it

I thought it was still playable somehow, but wasn't sure if the name had changed... thanks.

I am very happy to announce Duality: ZF, our upcoming 2D shooter, has four player game play. Even more amazing it has dual play for each of the four players, for eight simultaneous independently controlled fighters on screen at once. We hope to have some of the most insane game play footage from this ridiculous combination.
