Trit’@polychrome Don’t tell them about “Super Mario Bros” (NES/Famicom, 1985)… OK, it was not simultaneous multiplayer: you just switched players when you died in the game. But still…
@TritTriton early 80's home computers used to support multiple joysticks/inputs and had multiple games for real time multiplayer, yeah. But in this case they're talking about shooters specifically.
Zaiaku@polychrome @TritTriton Well...Contra was technically a side scrolling shooter with multiplayer... and I think the game "To The Earth" on NES had multiplayer in it...cant remember though.
