Best 2 Player co-op Games

[elwing]

Double Dragon3 with "Friendly damage"

 

[PowerGod]

Duke Nukem 3D, Doom (and similar) - Starcraft

 Can these be played on 1 Pandora in co-op mode?

Ops, good point

Anyway there's a "Splitscreen mod" for Duke 3D somewhere on the internet, but I'm not sure if it can be played with 2 joysticks, it was intended for mouse/keyboard first player and joystick second player...

Duke 3D has a co-op storymode.

For Starcraft you can play in splitscreen with the Nintendo 64 version, but I never tried it with our emulator.

In Starcraft the only co-op can be obtained with an alliance versus PC in custom missions

Goof Troop Donkey Kong Country King of Dragons

Added, King of Dragons reminded me of the 2 D&D games in MAME and the Golden Axe Series

There is a MAME game I'm trying to think of, it might be a Neo Geo title.

It's a horizontal platformer and the similar gameplay to Bionic Commando but the one thing I can remember is that you can switch planes to avoid baddies.

I love this topic! I'm constantly on the hunt for games to play with Wife. Co-Optimus.com recently changed their searches to basically only show current gen stuff and I find searching for classic games impossible.

Metal slug.

Not on the pandora: rdiant silvergun and ikaruga.

 

[rygD]

Perfect dark? might be too slow

This is also my suggestion.  I love this game.

Has anyone played it on a CC Pandora (I have never needed to).  If I manage to make time this weekend I will try it out.

In the Capcom beat them ups, you also have The Punisher, Knight of the Round Table and Alien vs Predator which are pretty good (unless you have a problem with the concept of humans punching hordes of aliens in the face)

"friendly fire" is called "mode B" don't forget to activate that, otherwise it's just a boring coop fighter...

 

[PowerGod]

Aliens (MAME)

 

[pmprog]

Midnight Resistance - though not all versions support multiplayer. Though it is probably my favourite Run'n'Gun game of all time

For arcade games we have the 4 or 8 quarter (credits) rule, each player gets 4 credits for easy games and 8 for harder ones. that way we are not just playing with unlimited credits and makes games a challenge...
