What is the best game/demo or 2-player-game to show to a non-MSX friend?

Don't forget about "Be Bop Bout", a really cool card fighting game!

Note: If there is someone still looking for "Bombkura", it can be found on MSX-Fan#11!

OMG. How could I forget...

Quite some years ago already, a bunch of ('amateur' - doesn't mean 'bad' as we, MSX fans, already know) Japanese developers called 'Delta-Z' distilled (God knows from where) a full bottle of:

100%.
Pure.
F***ING.

Yes, it's for 2 players. :)

Is there any chance to find (buy) this game anywhere? It looks so great I would love to try it now that I own MSX 2+ for that! B-)

I've been also trying to search Fighters Ragnarök, but I can't find it anywhere as an original - or not even as a disk dump.

Maybe you can get help on IRC, channel #msx on Rizon network.

I always recommend RaiRai. It looks cheap, but it's really good for multiplayer. Strange bomberman clone.

Seriously that no one mentioned "Warroid"?

Besides Warroid, my top 2 player games for MSX are: F-1 Spirit, Super Runner, Warroid, Penguin-kun Wars and many Konami sport games.

If you want to show a friend a fun 2 player msx game, as the TS asks, I'd go for super runner. Fast paced, scrolling and a real versus game.

I just ran across this old post while I was looking for something else (a trilo tracker basic replayer, a MuSiCa basic replayer, or any other SCC+PSG basic replayer) and I want to add (for those who ever run accross this forum in the future, looking for 2 players cooperative games) that a nice game to play and show on the msx2 is "NUTS"
