Any other games where 4 players can all play at once?

I think Wacky Races is a 4 player game too.

And Toy Commander.
And probably some wrestling games, I wouldn't know. And NFL Blitz.

Ones that are a good laugh with mates or genuinely good? For the former:
Virtua Tennis 2
Red Dog
Q3A
Powerstone 2
UEFA Striker or SWWS Euro
Revolt in chase mode
Chu-Chu Rocket
That secret level on Rayman 2
Virtua Athlete 2K
NFL Blitz
Fur Fighters
Worms World Party

for accomplished games but won't necessarily be as much fun:
V-Rally 2
Toy Commander (would be great but the models are too small in contrast to
the levels)
Q3A
ChuChu
VT2
Powerstone 2

I know there are some duplicates, and I know it's hard to explain exactly
what I mean by this, it's odd. A mate and myself were playing my copy of
Olympic Soccer on the Saturn the other day, and it's one of the worst games
ever made, but I've never laughed so hard playing a game in my life, this is
why WWS, UEFA and to an extent Revolt are good, because they're not, but
it's so much fun!

used to play that on the psx with my mates, set pitch to bumpy
and try to score with goal kicks, plus you could score without
the ball going in the goal & the goalies were dodgy to say the least

it depends on what you & the others like, certainly
Q3Arena is up there as is Unreal Tournament (though
I think Q3A is better as a 4 player game)

My mates & I like to have a bit of athletics so Sydney 2000
has seen a lot of play (something I would never play in one
player mode). Others that we play regularly:

Tee Off
Virtua Tennis
SWWS Euro
Maximum Pool

And there are the old faves which whilst not 4 player
can be played multiplayer

Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Tony Hawks etc

I forget the actual name, the one where you have to chase them, with the
star, "Tag Battle" or something, I just call it the chase one.

Is that the one where you each have a castle in a corner of the screen and
you hurl fireballs around?

The only 4-player Dreamcast games you need are Virtua Tennis 2(k2),
Bomberman online, and Powerstone 2. The end. :)

Where can you get Bomberman Online from as I didn't even know it was
available for the Dreamcast (I've not seen in the shops or online but I
guess I didn't look hard enough!).

It never got released over here. Try US websites like www.tronixweb.com or
www.therage.com to buy it from. Or there's always ebay!

Sega Swirl's 4 players? Cool, I've got that - another game to put on the
party (aka after the pub shuts) pile.

All these 4 player games should also be good with my two extra controllers
(I'm hoping they're official ones as I want them to replace my current
crappy third-party ones) and rumble packs which I've just ordered off
Streetsonline for a bargain 4.99 each.

Wow! Thanks for that. Just gone to streets and they're having a big
clearout of DC, N64 and GBC. Just about to order F355, 18 Wheeler and
Outtrigger for £5 each, remember everything will be new from them. Lots of
other good bargains, an N64 console for £10 for example. Official pads and
VMUs for £5. Anthony-I'm pretty sure 'Dreamcast Controller' will be
official and 'Dream Pad Standard' will be 3rd party.

Just realised a Pokemon GameBoy Colour CONSOLE is £9.99! Very misleading
title, thought it was a game at first!

I like Red Dog. Twisted Metal Black on PS2's a damn fine gun 'n' car game.

Ooga Booga -- It's just great and I would even say it at least matches
Bomberman with it's awsome Gameplay.
