Title: Co-operative 2-Player Games
Post by: xyth on August 24, 2003, 04:24:32 AM

I'm always on the look out for good co-operative 2-player games.

Obviously there's the Alien Breed series, the Gauntlets, Settlers, Pang, Chaos Engine, and Bloodwych.

Can anyone recommend any other good titles?

You could play Worms in cooperative mode against the CPU or another team of people. What a great game! :-)
Guardian has a 2-Player mode, but I don't know if it's cooperative.
There's also Gloom and Quake (over a network)
The Lemmings 2-Player mode is fun. Though not cooperative, both players do play simultaneously.

That's all I can think of.

Sigh...I miss Lemmings. I used to love making them all explode.  :-o

I think Banshee is one of the greatest! Great gameplay and it's awesome looking too. :-)

I always found level 1 of Tricky to be especially good for blowing up Lemmings. :-D

I'd recommend Ghost Recon or Operation Flashpoint

(but I am somewhat of a bloodthirsty warmonger type)

Oh yeah, Amiga titles, oops I forgot

I always loved Swiv and Silkworm... Great shoot 'm ups, but for a shoot 'm up that can really be played co-operative try Blasteroids and join both ships..

Banshee is one of the best ones, yes!
Try AlienBreed3D (or sequel) over nullmodem with 2 machines:)

I think you could play Smash TV with 2 joysticks.. One person controls the walk and the other the guns...

Project X is nice when one person controls the craft and the other person controls the weapon upgrades.

Roadkill.. One person drives the other shoots..
Walker.. One person walks the other shoots..

WarZone, WatchTower, Deluxe Galaga

Dogs of War (!!!)

Wings of Fury -> one plays and the other one watches ;-)

Hi,


Maybe I'm just blind, but I'm still missing:

- Garrison (Gauntlet clone)
- Rodland (sort of Bubble Bobble but with cute little elves)
- Hired Guns (up to 4 player in co-op mode)


Bye HAK

RODLAND!!!!  I'd forgotten all about that game!  my little sister and I used to spend entire days playing that game when we were kids!

I don't suppose anyone has a copy for sale do they?

I had a look at back2roots but I'm guessing it's still a commercial title.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.  I shall be scouring the second hand shops and auctions for these titles.

Apidya;  "You'll be the little bee?"

Midnight Resistance;  "HEY! Don't steal my keys!!!"

Jaguar XJ-220; "Hey, help me out man! Slow down that Porsche that's between us"

Super Cars II; "Hey, shoot that car down!!!"

Cabal; mindless shooting

And geez! What about one of the best ones!!!

Brutal Homicide 2 !! You play against each other, but you could just team up to kill the robot.

Post by: CU_AMiGA on October 12, 2003, 12:31:41 PM

Crackdown and Chaos Engine come to mind! :-) Great games!

However, the best game, let alone co-operative is without a doubt METAL SLUG on the Neo Geo and Arcade! The Neo Geo still going! :-) 24-bit!

YO JOE! and Banshee(with cheats enabled! damn hard game)

All the platform level games like, parasol stars, rodland, bubble bobble, Rainbow islands.

Chaos engine was the best :)

I know you said co-operative, but Knights was always my favourite 2 player game (It may have had a co-operative mode)..  Top view maze game with various objectives, and tons of great gameplay...  trapped chests, zombies, bats, spells, shovels, axes, what more could you ask for? =)
Better than Carnage if you ask me, and one of the best AMOS games I ever played (you'd never know except for the LeftAmiga-A thing)

 Knights242.lha  game/2play  223K  466  Two-player violent dungeon bashing
