What about Secret of Mana? That's multiplayer. So is Final Fantasy 6.

Mario Kart is a good choice but it gets ugly playing splitscreen. Smash TV is fun in multiplayer.

Sonic 2 is pretty fun in multiplayer mainly because the second person can really go for broke. If the first player is really good though you just get left behind a lot (and some levels don't even feature Tails). Cyborg Justice is another fun beat-em-up with some neat twists for Genesis.

Firstly i'm impressed you didn't break up playing Street of Rage together. The game's designed to cause arguments. Why not go for the sequels and/or Golden Axe/2 and the various Battletoads?

The Lost Vikings is also rather tasty.

Others - Puzzle Bobble, Worms, Contras

if you're into action rpgs, try secret of mana/evermore and seiken densetsu3 they're awesome rpgs in their own right and even more fun on multiplayer, kirby superstars had an awesome co-op mode as well

Its single player but you can switch out from fight to fight for Super Punch Out! (SNES) fun. Used to play it with people all the time :D

Lost Vikings 1-2 would be my suggestion because they're relatively peaceful so not too much dying/frustraction. They're really nice puzzle games.

Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, and Seiken Densetsu 3 are also good picks that will last a long time. They're all pretty decent co-op action RPGs, though I'd say SD3 is the best. Plus for SD3, you can pick your 3 party members from the 6 available, so if there's a character type that she wants to play, there's a somewhat decent selection.

Since you are willing to play a game in a more hardcore genre (props yo, not many could make it with gf), the best co-op beat-em-up or run-and-gun game on those systems is probably Gunstar Heroes. + Show Spoiler +

Of course, Contra, Super Contra, and the like are more than fine games too.

Unfortunately, those systems don't have too many groundbreaking or really fun plane shooters with co-op mode that I can think of. A lot of the better games in the genre happened later IMO. But some examples are Dragon Saber and Aero Fighters.

Are you just limited to NES, SNES, and Genesis, or could you emulate arcade games? With arcade games you're never going to run out of stuff. Playstation and Saturn open up a whole realm of games as well.

edit: Oh yeah, Bubble Bobble yo.

Secret of Mana is such a sick game--definitely do that! It can be a bit annoying though because one person is basically going to be the leader and the other person will just follow since there isn't a split screen or anything like that, but battles and fortresses and what not will be so much fun!
