Party games except Mario/Wario?

[FateLanegod]

Yo-ho-ho,

I’m looking for simple multiplayer retro games everybody could enjoy and have fun in short time sessions.

What would you recommend except some obvious choices like Mario Party or Warioware?
Just for the sake of having alternatives.
It could be for 3-6th gen consoles, The Big N or Sega or Sony, whatever, it does not matter. Only simple controls and intuitive gameplay for bunch of people.

Crash Bash on PS1.
The Super Bomberman series.

I'd rather not have someone play Crash Bash with me

I’ve heard Bishi Bashi is great. Does it actually contain many multiplayer games?

I was just about to recommend Bishi Bashi. It's great for fast mini-games, although the PSX game (only one I've played besides the arcade version which obviously is not that accessible) is 1v1 minigames only. pretty fun either way and you can just go with the tournament mode, king of the hill with your friends or just swap people at each minigame.

Honestly it's overall fun, so I do recommend it

Now about other rival systems…
Has anybody tried Sonic Shuffle? Is it good to kill time and friendships?

Sonic Shuffle is an ELITE recommendation, and the one I had come here to give.

Really? I've tried it a couple of times and never could really get into it.

Are PC games an option? Or maybe modern consoles?
Because the Jackbox Party Pack games are certainly up your alley!
