Whilegames are great fun, they can become even more enjoyable when played with friends – providing of course, no fierce rivalries break out. Nick, Darran and Tim recall some of their favourite multiplayer experiences from over the years, but will they all remain friends afterwards?
DARRAN
With Super Monkey Ball on the cover it seems a good time to discuss everyone’s favourite multiplayer and party games.
NICK
I’ve heard Mario Kart is pretty good. I meet up with friends from a Sonic forum frequently, and we never miss a session on whichever handheld one is out at the time.
TIM
I bought the multitap for Mega Bomberman on the Mega Drive so my friends could all play. Unfortunately for them I only had third-party controllers. I kept the original one for myself.
DARRAN
Both games are a very good shout. Aside from Worms on Xbox Live Arcade, the best multiplayer game I’ve ever experienced is 16-player Halo on the original Xbox before the Live servers kicked in.

That’s an impressive session to get together. You must have had a pretty good LAN system in place?
