All my choices appear to be better when played with a group of mates.. 
would probably also include Micro machines V3 in that selection.

+  Parappa the Rappa - Excellent at parties with the sound pumped up.
Gets everyone singing along (or is this just me?).  Very Original too.

+  Busta Move 2 - Original - Same simplicity rating as Tetris.

+  Tekken 2 - I've owned this for over a year and I'm still discovering
new moves.
