How about more than 2?
If you plug in 2 joysticks or joypads, the 3rd player can use the keyboard!
And if the game has simple controls, 1 player can use the arrow keys and the other one [Q], [W], [A] & [S] or something similar, so you got 4 players.
Also, a Dutch MSX group named MSX-Club West-Friesland once made games that had the possibility to be played two MSX computers at once, connected with some kind of "link-cable".

Search for the word "linkkabel".
Bombaman has a 4 player mode, great fun at fairs on a beamer!
In general I'd say it depends on the game and the concept if a multi player mode is useful/needed. 2 player 'spot the pixel' sounds boring :) And in general, you should polish the game as much as possible, of course. A multi player mode is just some more extra polish.

Actually, I still enjoy to play FindIt with a group of friends ;) If only if it just makes it simpler ;p
Let's do a 4 player Bombaman run on the next fair!

Yeah, cool!!! 
Not simultaneously, but lots of fun for 4 players: The "Title Awase" (memory) game and "Ago-Board" (or smth) on Konami Game Collection 4!
This type of game should be fun:
Bring your NES along to the next MSX fair?
Oh, and do not forget Triplex which supports upto 16 (if my memory serves me well) simultaneous players ;)
For up to 4 players, 'Magical Labyrinth (Remix)' from Gigamix is really cool
I wonder if anyone here has ever seen the "LINKS" system of Girly Block working?
It should have worked using telephone lines, if I'm not mistaken.
Interesting...
