:o old school co-op games, never thought of that, me and my gf have pretty much done all the good co-op games on 360 (gears, halo etc.), now we've kinda just degenerated into playing 1p games and taking turns (which can get frustrating, lol), this thread will help me a lot :D.

Pretty much all good games that come to mind for oldschool games have been mentioned i think, ill 2nd bomber man as i remember that being hella fun, haven't played it in like 10 years tho so could just be nostalgia xD.

also - not to derail the thread but i guess its kinda on topic, does anyone have any good suggestions for co-op wii games? (pref proper, storyline, games. Dont say "Wii bowling is fun! :D" >< )

Although 2p doesn't get to control where you walk to, she will get control of her character in battle. Yeah shitty deal for 2p, but she might enjoy the storyline/journey with you through this awesome classic.

Easy solution: Let her do the walking around. Or take turns.

And yes, kirby superstar is win. Pretty much all kirby games are.

wiz n' liz on genesis was one of my favourite games to play with my brother/sis as a kid :D
it's a bit hard to describe so i'll just link a vid.. your gf will probably find the cutesy/cartoony side of it rather appealing

obviously one of the easiest levels.. can get rather taxing later on and there are tons of mini games and some really fun/interesting boss fights too

I strongly recommend Secret Of Mana 2. There is no better Action RPG with 2 (or even 3 Player) mode. In the first hour you will have to play alone, but when you meet the second main char you can play together.
The Fights are just awesome, full of Action but combined with a very good story, great bosses and so on. It's the SNES game I spent most time with.
When you prefer Jump&Runs Donkey Kong Country 2 could be another option for you.

Actually several people have mentioned them already.

I played the Golden Axe 3D remake on the Genesis Collection for PS2 and it lots a lot of the appeal because the models were so low-poly and the graphics were horrible.

Virtua Cops (I think that's what it's called) is a great simple 2P co-op stage-based shooter game to play with a girlfriend. One persons is on keyboard, other on mouse (mouse is 10x easier to play with).

Sunset Riders is great, as others have mentioned. Another great game, which also has a western theme, is Wild Guns - great arcade-style 2-player game, used to play it with a friend a lot.

Tetris Attack
-aka Pokemon Puzzle League aka Panel De Pon. Despite the name, it is nothing like Tetris. It's really Panel De Pon, but Nintendo change the graphics around to gain mass appeal. It's more forgiving on mistakes than other puzzle games while allowing some massive fullscreen combos.
