Champions of Norrath, Champions - Return to Arms, Dark Alliance 1 and 2. For the PS2.

(NES)- The Tengen versions of Tetris and Ms. Pac-man, (although relatively hard to find), have a couple of good of co-op modes, and are generally great games.

(N64)- Also, Goldeneye for the N64 is an exellent game with co-op mode. On a side note, there is a cheat code for Diddy Kong Racing that allows you to play a two-player adventure mode, although I do not belive that it has anything to do with teamwork :roll:

(NintendoGameCube(sort-0f :)))- Try team battle on both Super Smash Bros., and Super Smash Bros. Melee; both games are cool and pretty cheap;)

You can't do co-op on GoldenEye, it's just deathmatch.

I played some co-op Battlefront II last night and it was pretty fun, but a bit confusing with the split screen.

The exclusive "bonus game" included on the PS2 version of Half Life, called Decay, is for 2 players (ideally) in which the player(s) are two female scientists during events leading up to the actual accident which starts Half-Life.

I say "ideally" bc you CAN play it alone, but you're constantly switching between chars, & I guess some situations/puzzles require cooperation between the two.

Also, you cant save your progress in it, so it takes a while to play. I tried it solo once for about 20 min before I got bored & blasted an NPC scientist in the face.

I second the Baldur's Gate/Champs of Norrath series.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory. Great Offline CO-op Mode. The controls take some time to get used to but the game is great!

Bubble Bobble, NES.

TMNT 2: Arcade Game, NES

Battletoads, NES

Those are a few that came to mind.

You know, Battletoads is my single favorite video game of all time, but I've never had much luck with the co-op mode on it, mostly because I don't know anyone at my skill level in that game (I'm lucky if I can find someone that can beat the third level). If I were to ever find someone to play with who is as good as me, well, that would be awesome.

I'd also vote for the following:

NES
Battletoads & Double Dragon (the difficulty isn't quite as harsh)
both Chip N' Dale Rescue Rangers games
River City Ransom

SNES
Secret of Mana
Zombies Ate My Neighbors

[syd]

There's some really good suggestions. I'd like to add the following:

NES:
River City Ransom
Double Dragon 2

SNES:
Final Fight 1-3
Goof Troop

[calthaer]

Best co-op game ever?

System Shock 2 for the PC.

[Trebuken]

Find a game with Gauntlet in the title...

Trebuken

[Damon Plus]

River City Ransom is my fave. Also, Super Mario Kart or Virtua Tennis are great too.

Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis (PC) wins for me. Best co op ever.

Sven Co Op for Half Life is pure sex when it comes to balls-to-the-walls action, but I generally prefer to play Operation Flashpoint when I LAN it up.

Off the top of my head, some other co op games I found enjoyable and in alphabetical order:
Ghost Recon (PC and PS2) (never played the Xbox/GC versions)
Gigawing (Arcade/DC)
Hidden & Dangerous Deluxe (PC) (bonus: it's freeware now)
Ikaruga (Arcade/DC/GC)
Project Eden (PC)
Rainbow Six series (PC)
SWAT 3 (PC)
System Shock 2 (PC)

Ikaruga and Gigawing work awesomely co op because of the shield systems in the games, allowing one player to run cover for the other. With a little teamwork, you can totally dominate the game.

Hidden & Dangerous is awesome in co op mode, but you're going to have to wrestle with the game's controls and quirks before you can really get into it. Hell, I liked the solo game mode a good bit, too...but that last mission in the main campaign was a motherfucker with those hidden snipers and such (sniper town in Allied Assault has NOTHING on this level)

[Yago]

I also vote for Contra on NES. That and Ikari Warriors is a blast with 2 players as well.

[CYRiX]

Serious Sam

[Johnny_Rock]

Golden Axe or Serious Sam

[MegaDrive20XX]

Contra, Gauntlet, Rampage, and DOOM

[GetImOliver]

You owe it to yourself to play Phantasy Star Online (Episode 1 & 2 for your Cube). You'll learn to love your friends and hate them very much at the same time while you play for the 20th night in a row.

Pocky and Rocky for the SNES is great with two players.

[pragmatic insanester]

super double dragon (snes)

[Descartes]

I have always been rather fond of TMNT: The arcade game
