Faceball has a variety of options for four players, including battle and "racing" modes, with or without any number of sims or computer-controlled goons.  The only downfall of Faceball, imo, is the complete lack of power-ups.

Oh sweet, I wasn't aware of a racing mode!

EDIT: OH and another AWESOME four player game is that one River City Ransom game where all of your characters have to race through stages while overcoming platforms and beating up other players along the way! This was another one of turbo_sage's games that I played at the MGC and even though I only played it once, it was super rad!

Thanks for the info. on Faceball dudes - now I must have it.

The racing mode is not like a driving game--the controls still handle like a FPS.  The difference is that rather than simply killing each other, players run around the maze collecting little, baby blob creatures and deposit them into a goal.  The blobs trail behind you until deposited, during which time other players can steal the blobs you've collected.  Whoever deposits the most blobs before the time runs out wins.

That sounds great, vestcoat!
