Sorry for the delay, I’ve been so busy updating, fixing up, and adding more detail to my spreadsheet of games I own to get some new, or old, review posted/updated. So, here’s a nice list! This should be complete, and it’s very useful now, since PCECP has sadly disappeared. Here’s hoping the site comes back!
Turbografx/PC Engine games require a TurboTap multitap for any simultaneous multiplayer modes — the system has only one controller port. The multitap supports up to five players. So, this list includes all TG16/PCE & TCD/PCECD games with multiplayer support.
The main list is broken up into two parts, for HuCard games first and CD games second. After that is a second list of only the shmups, for people who only care about those games and not the rest.

As far as run & guns go, I think that Mystic Formula (Super CD) might be the only one with multiplayer… and it’s not exactly loved. Seems to be considered average at best.
