Top co-op mame games
« on: June 03, 2011, 02:48:20 pm »
Looking to narrow down the mame cab selections.   Can you all weigh in on what the best coop games are out there.  i only have a two player set up, but it wouldn't bother me to use only two on multi Player formats such as gauntlet....

Right now the kids love rampage world tour....

Bomberman is a great game!  It's 1-4 player, but I would NOT call it coop.  I consider blowing up your human and computer compatriots less than cooperative.  :timebomb:

Nearly every MAME game is a co-op game, my favourites being:

Cadillacs and Dinosaurs
EspGaluda
Metal Slug series

...and a few others previously mentioned...

God I love MAME.  Been playing arcade games since forever and I never knew there was a sequel to Defender and Stargate, let alone, one that let's you play co-operatively.

Thanks for the mention.  ;D

There is a version of Bomberman where you play as a team against the computer team.  Can't remember which one it is though.
