A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I am having many friends over and we wish to play games on PC, there will be just one PC available but 8 controllers connected to it. Looking for recommendations!

I created this set up specifically to play killer queen black, but if there are other arcade style games that are fun and can accommodate the player count I would love to know about them!

I'm pretty sure there's a specific Bomberman console release you can emulate with 8 players.

You could also emulate Smash Bros Ultimate, as it has 8 player support. Might be boring to just play a Switch game many people have though. Maybe look into mods for it?

And you can always use co-optimus to search for stuff. Just set At least 8 players, couch co-op in the filters: https://www.co-optimus.com/system/4/pc.html

Saturn Bomberman supports up to 12 players I believe.
