Hudson Soft‘s classic Super Bomberman was originally released for the Super Nintendo in 1993.
As an example of a frantic maze/puzzle game: there is absolutely nothing better in its class – other than its four sequels! 🙂

Games that two people can play simultaneously.
The Lost Vikings, Super Nintendo
The Lost Vikings is a platform/puzzle game developed by Silicon & Synapse (now Blizzard Entertainment), and was originally released for the Super Nintendo by Interplay in 1993.
Super Mario Kart, Super Nintendo
I would argue that the original 1992 Super Mario Kart on the SNES is still the greatest Mario Kart game of all time.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Super Nintendo
This brilliant single and multi-player overhead shooter by LucasArts is a parody of every single horror and sci-fi film you’ve ever seen.
Chainsaws, zombies, UFOs, mummies, werewolves, demonic babies, spiders, shopping malls – you name it, the game will throw it at you during at least one of its 48 different stages.
Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior, Neo Geo

Twinkle Star Sprites, Neo Geo
SNK‘s Twinkle Star Sprites was released for the Neo Geo in 1996 and is an interesting mix of vertically-scrolling shoot ’em up and head-to-head puzzle game. Yes, I know that sounds weird, and this game IS weird, but weird in all the right ways…
Pinball: Revenge of the Gator, Game Boy
Developed and published by HAL Laboratory in 1989, Pinball: Revenge of the Gator is a memorable handheld pinball game with a cartoony, reptilian theme.
Road Rash II, Megadrive/Genesis
Road Rash II (1992) is an excellent continuation of the Road Rash theme, this time with more variety (you can now kick, as well as punch and use weapons, such as bike chains), and simultaneous two-player, split-screen play.
Midnight Resistance, Arcade
Data East‘s Midnight Resistance (1989) is a side-scrolling run-and-gun shooter with a difference – you can rotate the hips of the soldier you’re controlling and shoot in eight different directions, which makes for interesting and unique gameplay.
