which co-op games would you guys recommend getting?
*** Gunstar Heroes ***
Contra Hard Corps
Adventures of Batman and Robin
Streets of Rage 2
World of Illusion
Bio-Hazard Battle
Golden Axe 2
Off the top of my head...
Battletech- One player steers the Mech, the other player controls the upper body for attacking. It's fun as hell.
Streets of Rage series- Beating up generic bad guys en masse, with a two-player specific move or two to boot.
TMNT: THe Hyperstone Heist- Easy as hell, but fun.
Gunstar Heroes- Shit is flying and blowing up everywhere. Fast paced and fun.
World Series Baseball '95- Arguably the best baseball game on the Genesis.
NBA Jam T.E.- Arcade basketball, two on two, fast paced and over the top... it's an enjoyable game with two players.
Master of Monsters- If you've got a friend up likes turn-based RPGish games, this game's a great way to blow about two hours.
Herzog Zwei- RTS and shmup combine to make for a great way to go head to head via split screen.
Soldier of Fortune- Overhead run 'n gun that can get bit annoying if one player hangs back too often, or is a greedy shit with collecting the dropped money, but it can be enjoyable.
Bio-Hazard Battle- Two player shmup taking on bugs. What more do you want?
SFII:SCE/SSFII- It's Street Fighter, it's solid fighting, it's a no brainer really.
Edit:
Forgot about Air Buster. A solid, two-player shmup.
Wait, Street Fighter's cooperative? You mean two people can play as Ken and Ryu at once and double team poor little Chun Li? That's just evil.
@OP =
World of Illusion. With two capes taking up so much screen this game becomes a mite messy and thankfully harder.
SoR 1; to a lesser extent 2.
GA 1 and 2.
Gunstar Heroes. Similar to WoI except that it's messy even on 1P.
Super Smash TV. Good luck.
Any of the Streets of Rage series.
Gunstar Heroes
Streets of Rage 1, 2, and 3
Contra Hard Corps
TMNT: Hyperstone Heist
Golden Axe 1 and 2
X-Men 2: Clone Wars
Spider-Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety (I'd recommend the SNES version, mind you)
Combat Cars (it has a co-op race mode)
That's what comes to mind right now. The Genesis has a terrific lineup of co-op games. Arguably the best of any console.
It helps the co-op process along when one player gets on the other player's nerves ;)
And for those wondering, Master of Monsters can be played 1 human to 3 CPU, 2 on 2, 3 on 1, and all human. So while you may end up with a versus match, you can still team up on the CPU players.
ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
The Ren & Stimpy Show presents: Stimpy's invention
Streets of Rage 1/2/3
Golden Axe 1/2
Forgotten Worlds
Bio-Hazard Battle
Ms. Pac-Man
...
Other than what's been recommended so far:
Alien Storm
Bonanza Bros.
Gain Ground (so far this game is terrific!)
Sunset Riders
Super Bubble Bobble MD (unlicensed)
Wani Wani World (JP)
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (though it's better on SNES and, frankly, not as much fun as I'd expected)
Dungeon Explorer (Sega CD)
Avoid:
Cutthroat Island
X-Men
Kolibri (32X) (co-op just doesn't work)
Most of the best have already been mentioned (Streets of Rage, Gunstar Heroes, Batman and Robin, Hard Corps, Aeroblasters, Zombies etc)
Lost Vikings is great on three player (2-player kinda' sucks though)
Second Samurai is quite funny and over the top
Monster Lair is alright (nothing special)
I got some decent time out of Dinosaurs for Hire (nothing special, but I find it entertaining)
Two Crude Dudes is a whole lot of fun
Streets Of Rage games and Golden Axe
Soldiers of Fortune, definitely.
The first Toejam and Earl. A 2 player Roguelike where you can high five eachother to trade health? Awesome.
