Puck

95 %

2025 PC free

  • Co-op or multiplayer
  • Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)
  • Gameplay comes before story

Puck is a multiplayer hockey game with a physics-driven puck where precise controls and a feel for speed and angle matter. Every successful pass or shot feels earned.

Little Fighter 2

Action-packed real-time combat

A free Hong Kong brawler mixing beat 'em up and versus fighting, letting up to four players share one PC to fight each other or team up against computer opponents. Its appeal is the varied roster and chaotic fun with friends.

Ikari Warriors

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic vertically scrolling arcade shooter where you fight alone or with a friend through jungles, rivers and ruins. Machine guns, grenades and rocket launchers drive fast, punishing action.

Double Dragon

Action-packed real-time combat

The arcade classic that helped define the beat 'em up genre: punch, kick and grapple your way through waves of street gang thugs, ideally with a friend in co-op, to rescue a kidnapped girlfriend.

Double Dragon IV

Action-packed real-time combat

A deliberately retro side-scrolling brawler in 8-bit style that directly follows Double Dragon II. It offers classic, uncompromising arcade beat 'em up action, including two-player co-op.

Lethal Enforcers

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

A classic arcade light-gun shooter where you play a cop gunning down criminals in bank robberies, street and Chinatown scenes. Quick aim and sparing innocents are key, and a second player can join in co-op.

NHL 98

Realistic visuals

A classic 1997 hockey game with faster gameplay, four action buttons, on-the-fly tactics and new commentators. Graphics were improved, including 3Dfx support.

Super Sidekicks

Bright, upbeat tone

SNK's arcade-style soccer game with twelve national teams competing in the SNK Cup, first in group play and then in knockout rounds. Fast, simple matches that work especially well against a friend.

Pong

Timing and reflexes matter (parrying, dodging)

The ancestor of arcade games: two paddles, one ball and a pure reflex duel in minimalist table tennis style. It could hardly be simpler, which is exactly why it became a landmark in video game history.
