Which good classic MP games have you played (and liked ;) )
In this thread 'classic games' means games from the Amiga time (Don't worry about if you only played the game, you'd like to mention, on the PC (or even if it's only avaliable on PC... it's only about games that were from that time))...
And no, this is NO poll
You should just say which classic games you played MP, and why you liked playing MP in that particular game (don't want to know about SP today
)
My personal favorites where (all played on the good ol' Amiga
):
Super Cars II:
I guess this is the game I played most my MP games. This was a really good racing/destruction game (You got some super car ( ) with weapons (which you need to buy after each level... prices could differ), and in the map you had gates (opening/closing randomly), a train (running through the map at random times also) and some jumps (And you could crash you car at those places 
)
The game was fun in SP, but in MP it was even better (of course ), since you know play the game in different ways, that wasn't possible in SP: This could be "destruction", where Player X does everything possible to waste all other cars, while Player Y did everything possible to win the race (You had to be among the best, to enter next level, so one had to do the race)...
And since this was easy to learn, my friend (I often played against) quickly became a good opponent
The Settlers:
This game is still among the best games ever made, both for SP and MP... Though since this was hard to master (for my friends who didn't have the Amiga... or a PC), most of the time, while playing the game against my friends, I spent on trying to... ehmm... cheat them (only for a few minutes at a time, since I wanted to teach them to see when somebody is cheating on them... if they didn't discover it, I of course told them...
).
This was great fun, to play 2 vs 2 (me and my friend, against two computer players), since it had some depth in strategy, that most games published nowadays doesn't have...
(Btw, if you have played this game, but didn't find the cheat, feel free to ask... it's not an abvious one... and a fun cheat because of this )
Other honorable mentions:
Lemmings (Was fun, though never had anyone to play against
)
Oil Tycoon (The Tycoon game, that got me hocked to Tycoon games... played it often against my brother... though I always lost )
