Hi everyone! I know of a few great cooperative games - love me some Contra and Lifeforce...but a lot I lean towards are hard in difficulty. I now have a girlfriend who wants to play some games with me, but is just learning. (started her out with Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart. ) But she doesn't like competitive stuff yet because I'm more practiced by nature.
I'd like to stick around nes-snes-genesis era (as her family had some of this when she grew up) but just about any generation up to ps2 and wii would be welcome. Turtles in Time came to mind, for example.
What are some of the easier co-op games you've played that would still be fun for a seasoned game veteran to play?
Edit: simpler controls are also a plus. Not to put her down but dual-analog games might not be for her yet until she gets more used to it.
