I can't find the answer to this question. What's a two-player 80s arcade game from 1985 or before other than Gauntlet? Including things where you take turns playing. I don't think Pac-Man or Asteroids allowed 2P and Tetris didn't come out yet.

You mean like alternating turns?

I feel like there would be a lot of those so I must not be understanding your question.

Alternating turns is what I meant. Did Ms. Pac-Man really have alternating turns when it came out? If so, that's perfect.

Well a quick search brings up Tempest, Paperboy which I thought came out later, and some game called Gorf.

Defender did two-player alternating. (Actually, I feel like *most* games were 2P alternating.)
Marble Madness was two-player simultaneous.
