So I'm replaying on my Genesis, and I want my friends to get interested as well. Sadly, Sonic 2 isn't a very easy game for two people to enjoy (not with friends like mine). So what is your recommendation? They like shooters and action games in general.

I recommend:
- Biohazard battle (one of the very few 2p co-op shmups)
- Contra Hard Corps (run 'n gun)
- Gunstar Heroes (run 'n gun)
- Streets of Rage series (beat 'm up)
- Golden Axe series (beat 'm up)
These are just the bare essentials.
If you have more than one friend:
- Micro Machines 2 / Turbo Tournament (for if you have up to 8 friends)
- Lost Vikings (3 player puzzle platformer!)
- Gauntlet 4 (up to 4)
- Mega Bomberman (up to 4)

Hey! Action 52 is a thrilling experience to have. Even if you just play each game 5 minutes, that is still over four hours of action. Originally Posted by Sega Genesis

Really? No body's mentioned it? Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Me and my friend played it for weeks. 2 player CO-OP Fun! One of the best games on the Genesis but the SNES version is a bit better! I really recommend it if you want a challenge!

I always recommend co-ops before versus titles. I always end-up being apologetic about versus games, and I don't like it. I rather just be friendly:
Here's a list of some fun games I've found myself playing with friends:
Gunstar Heroes
The Ren & Stimpy Show: Stimpy's Invention
ToeJam & Earl
ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron
Forgotten Worlds
Rolling Thunder 2
Ms. Pac-Man
Bio-Hazard Battle

I don't know if anything is as fun on the Genesis as a four player game of NBA Jam/TE. Golden Axe 1 is a great 2 player game. Seems like both games are more fun if everyone has an arcade stick for some reason.
I don't play old stuff for nostalgia, I play old stuff because the games are better.

this is what we mostly play
Psycho Pinball is fun 2-3 players (built in taking turns). It is fun to watch as well. Goal is to win by Highscore.
Mega Bomberman is the easiest game for modern games and kids.
Micro Machines 96/Military is a sure bet as well.
