Two-player co-op games - discuss and recommend!

This had the accidental fighting thing going on too, in the way of accidentally throwing your companion into the enemies.

There should be more unco-op co-op games.

If so, we did exactly the same thing.

PLAYER 1: "Will you get over here!"
PLAYER 2: "These heels are hard to run in!"

PLAYER 1: "There! Shoot that Balla on the corner!"
[PLAYER 2 shoots police officer. A chase ensues]
PLAYER 1: "Shit!"
PLAYER 2: "Whoops."

PLAYER 1 (as C.J.): "Hey, let's make out."
PLAYER 2 (as shirtless bald hillbilly): "Okay."
[They kiss]

When you get a rhythm down with someone and you can go into those long, arcing blue spark slide turns.

We enjoyed Perfect Dark on the 64, might not look too great these days though.

and I cannot believe nobody has mentioned SWIV from the Amiga !!

There was great sideways shooting on the Speccy, a budget game called Zybex I think. We played this for hours. The spectacular power up system helped it's longivity.

These days we usually just plow through the old arcade roms as two player co-ops, just inserting credits until we finish the game. Not quite how they're supposed to be played I suppose but still top fun. and kills an evening off.

Finals week of my first semester freshman year, N1ck & I played the shit out of this thing, got drunk, played more. It only took 4 months for us to give up on college, then 3 more years to figure out how to drop out and join the military. We rarely, if ever, got past the second boss. I think 60% of deaths were caused by friendly fire/stupid errors.

Me and gf enjoy some co-op action on the PC, both off of the same monitor, but we're running short of inspiration. We're bored of the lego games, her laptop can't run portal 2, and left 4 dead makes us hate each other. Anyone got any other recommendations?

go back to the old skool

or Worms

Ha ha, forgot about worms, that might be kinda fun. Are there any double dragon style fight games with a bit better graphics knocking around? Or colourful platform games would be good (she's better than me at platformers)

Scorched Earth looks a bit chin-stroky to me, I was hoping for more shooting and fighting and blowing things up.

PES 2006 tbh

double fuckin drago

double dragon style fight games with a bit better graphics

I heard about a Streets of Rage remake that has all the characters from every game, new moves, and hundreds of stages. Not sure how available it is on the internets though - these things tend to be removed pretty sharpish one cease and desists are sent.

scorched earth, excellent suggestion. i always used to play the Amiga version 'tanx'.

2nd recommendations of pro ev and of worms, which i am currently caning on the iphone...

have you already played the Scott Pilgrim game? because if not that is what you are looking for.

Is Scott Pilgrim on PC?

I got married to the girlfriend in the first post - co-op is clearly the sign of a keeper. Anyway we are playing League of Legends these days, just bot games on the same team. It's really good, I'd recommend it!

there's got to be a way to play it on the pc. like Mame arcade emulator.
and if you get an arcade emulator you could play a whole heap of double dragon style fight games
