Trogdor by Ben McMurray, Chris Morrell, Ryan Oliveria.

Release notes:

It’s the clash of the titans as Trogdor the Burninator faces off with a brave, but unfortunately nameless knight. Speed, accuracy, wit, and, most importantly, time all play a factor in the battle to see whose majesty is truly superior.

Snake 2 by Chris Grayson, Christine Duong, Ethan Edgerton.

Release notes:

Two opposing players separated by a line that runs vertically down the middle of the play space. On each side of the play space, there is also a wall that further restricts the movement of each player. If either player runs into their back wall or the “fence” in the middle, they will lose a life, which is documented on the score counter, and then be transported back to the middle of their area.

Mario vs Luigi by Chris Sumsky, Daniel Sabio, and Sam Rickles.

Release notes:

In this game, a two player battle between the Mario brothers for the love of Princess Peach, Mario (we mapped him to WASD movement and fire button ‘1’) and Luigi (we mapped him to the arrows for movement and fire button ‘space bar’) are controlled by humans with goal of traveling to the middle to pick up Princess Peach (by running into her) and then carrying her back to your starting point. Running into the other player will steal Peach, and shooting them with a fireball will send Peach back to the middle. Scoring resets the screen for a new skirmish on a new map, and 5 scores by a player wins the game! Space bar will reset from the win screen. Good luck and enjoy!

A game meant to be played by two people, Laserblast is a competitive quickdraw shooter. The first player to fire their laser when the forcefield raises gets an advantage over the other. Then, in the kill or be killed world of outer space, free for all shooting begins.The first person to get Laserblasted three times loses. It is very highly recommended that you find a friend to play this game against or much of the competitive fun will be lost.
