Best Party Games

I came here just to second the Bishi Bashi suggestion.
Micro Machines is always a good one as well.
Super Mario War (ports) might be another one.
Worms can be fun as well.

An upside of Worms is everyone can use a single controller, and it gives other players a chance to drink, eat and trash-talk while awaiting their turn.

Some games that come to my mind, that can be played on a single screen with up to 4 players:

-Bomberman-games.
-Crash Bash
-Worms-games
-Hogs Of War (can be played one after another)
-Colin McRae Rally 2.0 (same as above)
-Metal Slug-games
-Rampage-games
-Tekken-games
-Super Mario-games (one after another in 2 Player-mode)

Nothing like a classic Mame Beat-Em-Up for a party!

Ninja Baseball Batman
Simpsons Arcade
X-MEN (Welcome to DIE!)
Turtles in Time

And if anyone has ever played POY POY on psx, that is an epic party game of throwing logs and rocks at eachother, a true classic!

No one has posted a gauntlet yet, so check out all gauntlet games! Old school dungeon crawling at its finest.

I'm under the impression that the Hyper Sports/Track and Field games also work well in turn-based multiplayer.

The Bishi Bashi games (arcade/ps1) are utterly insane. Worth a checkout..

My brother described this as an "aggressively Japanese, effed up, Mario Party" and I think he's dead on hahaha.

Great stuff!
Worms is a classic!

Thank you all for the suggestions!
I've just upgraded from a 16GB card to a 64GB so should be able to fit a lot more games on there :)

PSX - Crash Team Racing: 4-player Kart racing game that has easily been more fun to play than MarioKart 64. It's a blast with 4 people, especially when people get good and start memorizing the tracks.

Trash it for PS1
It's an action game where the 1-4 players have to destroy buildings with gigantic hammers. As a player, you take role of a construction worker who has only one mission: To smash everything to bits and cross the finish line before the opponents. Check it out on youtube it's actually great deal of fun.
