Jazz Jackrabbit 2

Jumping and platforming

A fast-paced 2D run-and-gun platformer starring the wisecracking rabbit Jazz, with colorful levels and goofy weapons. Its multiplayer modes, including co-op and capture the flag, are a big part of its lasting appeal.

Broforce

Playing together in co-op

A chaotic run-and-gun platformer starring parodies of action movie heroes, where nearly everything is destructible and explosions tear levels apart. With up to four friends in co-op, the mayhem becomes gloriously over-the-top fun.

Super Crate Box

Action-packed real-time combat

A frantic arcade platformer-shooter where you grab crates, swap weapons constantly and chase a high score while endless enemies keep spawning. Tight controls, pixel art and a chiptune soundtrack define it.

Metal Slug

Action-packed real-time combat

A legendary run-and-gun classic with gorgeously animated pixel art, slapstick humor and frantic firefights where you hijack tanks and rescue prisoners. Best enjoyed in two-player co-op, and as punishing as any great arcade game.

Kero Blaster

Action-packed real-time combat

A compact retro run-and-gun platformer from Cave Story creator Pixel, where you play a frog swapping weapons through short, punchy stages. Charming, lighthearted and approachable.

Metal Slug 2

Playing together in co-op

A classic arcade run-and-gun with beautifully detailed pixel art, over-the-top humor and frantic, punishing action. It shines in co-op with drivable vehicles, weapon pickups and endless enemy swarms.

Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium

Action-packed real-time combat

A compilation of over 30 classic Capcom arcade games from the 80s and 90s, spanning shooters, brawlers and platformers. Modern features like online leaderboards, rewind and extras make these punishing coin-eaters easy to revisit today.

Super Contra

Shooting and gunplay

Konami's arcade run-and-gun where you fight an alien invasion solo or with a friend. Alongside classic side-scrolling stages there are overhead levels, all with typical punishing arcade difficulty.
