Local multiplayer games (>4 Pl.) which are not available on Steam (yet)

Hi,

I 'd like to create a new thread for mentioning games which are not available on Steam (yet). If you don't want it here, just delete it.

The game 'BombSquad' can be played with up to 8 players on Windows/Mac, Android (TV).
I don't know if it is ok to post external links, so for Windows just google it or search for a video on YouTube. For Mac OS it is on the Mac App Store and for Android on Google Play and Amazon.

[monokoma]

Great Idea!
We could even mention console games in here, it's always nice to have a list of multiplayer games for 4+ players.
I don't remember many 4+ players games on the same console, for sure there's Micromachines for N64 (8 players, each 2 players use 1 pad together) and Playstation (with multi tap)

[GYMMER]

CHICKENJUMP, great 8 player fun, free download here
http://gamejolt.com/games/chickenjump/45678

[GYMMER]

On GameCube: Mario Party 7 << 8 players simultaneously!!

[monokoma]

i wish there could be more games like Mario Party for PC, it was an awesome party game!

[GYMMER]

Another great non-steam game to play with up to 10 people: Saturn Bomberman ( although it's a pain to get the emulator to work. )

[GYMMER]

By the way, there's a free Bomberman remake for PC which works reasonably well, but only supports 5 players Max. CHeck it out and download here:

http://bombermaaan.sourceforge.net/

[supersmo]

[EDIT] The list is now moved to the top discussion post since comments are limited to 18000 characters.

[GYMMER]

WHOA! Nice job Supersmo

[supersmo]

Thanks. :-)
Added a couple more to the list... and I have more in my collection. I can post them here when I find the time.
If you have issues finding specific games I can help search for them and add links.

[monokoma]

I would love to see #IDARB on Steam, it looks super fun

[supersmo]

Updated the list with some more...
May have messed it up though since it's harder to find the good ones now.

[monokoma]

wow, so many games! I'll have to check them all before the next time we'll be able to organize a 8 players party :O

[GYMMER]

Another one (free) I saw today (haven't tested it yet:)

Hyper Ultra Astronautics
https://fractilegames.itch.io/hyper-ultra-astronautics

According to dev:

"Hyper Ultra Astronautics is a fast-paced competitive local multiplayer space arena shooter with somewhat realistic physics and support for up to 16 players on the same PC. Play using keyboard, mouse or gamepads. Or join the match using your mobile phone as controller!"

[supersmo]

Great Gymmer :-)
Added to the list.
(And added some more.)
