[@michaelmarriott1177]

actually 28 is called Rush N Attack

[@SerjTargarien]

30 is called Xybots

[@tonymonteiro1081]

16 was actually S.C.A.T. and 20 is Rod land.

[@aaronskuse2207]

Pretty good video. The only complaint I have is the lack of an appendix to note the names so I don’t have to constantly rewind to remember them.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thanks! I’ll update the time stamps.

[@BanditTheCat2017]

The video got appendicitis and it got removed

[@CeticWales]

I always used to play Teenage Muntant Hero Turtles 2: The Arcade Game, Chip n Dale, Bubble Bobble, and Battletoads on the NES with my little brother

[@ClassicCo-op]

Nice! Good times!

[@CeticWales]

@@ClassicCo-op Yep. Well...maybe not so much with Battletoads haha! 😅

[@Cellfix]

Congratulations! You've earned yourself a new subscrobbler!

[@ClassicCo-op]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@ThatPrettyBMF]

Thanks for the list, dawg! I'm a "90's kid" with a 5-year-old, and I got the NES for my own 5th birthday. My daughter likes to watch videos about retro games (especially by Sega Lord X), but she hasn't really gotten into playing them herself yet. Maybe something on this list will change that. Thanks again.

[@ClassicCo-op]

That’s awesome! I have a five year old daughter too. She loves playing co-op games with me, but mostly new games. Someday I’ll try to get her to play more nes haha

[@ThatPrettyBMF]

Oh, we play tons of co-op games together. Gaming has become her primary pastime, as it has always been mine. Newer games tend to be both easier and better looking, though, so... @@ClassicCo-op

[@vacantseaofplanets]

Try Kirby. Easy difficulty. Great music, graphics, gameplay, etc. I think it will be the one to get her playing!

[@ClassicCo-op]

@@vacantseaofplanets my daughter loves Kirby. We played through Star Allies and Forgotten world together. I’m going try some of the old ones too.

[@ThatPrettyBMF]

@@vacantseaofplanets Kirby's Adventure is actually my favorite NES game, and it's the one I recommend to everyone. The only problem is, it's not co-op! 😬 We did just finish Kirby's Dreamland 3 for the SNES, though. She's now a Gooey fan (especially because of her vast experience with Slime Rancher games).

[@michaelmarriott1177]

you forgot Ikari Warriors. thats an amazing co-op game as well.

[@m128jg]

Base Wars is also a really good sports game on the NES. My sisters liked Super Team, but you'd need a working Power Pad and friends who aren't afraid to sweat profusely.

[@ClassicCo-op]

I need to try that again!

[@aer0449]

Omg thank you so much bro ❤

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thank you for watching!

[@josetarapues1917]

Muy buena compilacion de clásicos. Thanks

[@LittleBlueJug]

Damn, phenominal list. I've been back and forth the NES library and never have seen Broadland and Mendel's Palace.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thanks! I appreciate! I always try to dig deep into these libraries to hopefully find games people haven’t played.

[@BetterThanDoomWithAZ]

I am letting my brother play, Mom! He's controlling the pipes!

[@ClassicCo-op]

Haha I mean, it’s better than giving them the unplugged controller and making them think they’re playing.

[@fahrenheit1391]

Xybots pretty good ngl + unique and interesting gameplay for nes

[@ClassicCo-op]

That’s what I thought! I was surprised to see it.

[@alexfischer7876]

9:17 Correction - *50 levels.* The _Game Boy_ version added a bit more.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Oh, you’re right! Thanks for the correction!

[@alexshadowfax1119]

I cant get an answer to this anywhere so Im trying here, if I the buy micro mages digital version Rom, can I add it to my nes or SNES mini like i do with other nes roms or will I have to play it on my PC? Thank you

[@ClassicCo-op]

Yeah, it looks like the Steam version includes the nes rom as well!

[@alexshadowfax1119]

@@ClassicCo-op thank you very much

[@cbell414]

I'm a little surprised Life Force isn't included, was always one of my favorites to play with one of my siblings as a kid.

[@ClassicCo-op]

That’s a good one too!

[@tepung_gandum4612]

how to find&download the homebrew games?

[@ClassicCo-op]

Check archive.org

[@Blobby_hill396]

Guerrilla War should have made the list.

[@ClassicCo-op]

It’s decent, but not one of my favorites.

[@CarletonTorpin]

14:35 - I’ll wait for the romhack that adds “Bimmy”, too.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Bimmy is essential!

[@nattygg]

25:48 what game?

[@ClassicCo-op]

A homebrew called blazing rangers!

[@nattygg]

@@ClassicCo-op thank you so much

[@StewNWT]

Bubble Bobble is thebest

[@ClassicCo-op]

One of my all time favorites!

[@brandonanderson2689]

How did you leave off Bad Dudes or Ikari Warriors from here

[@ClassicCo-op]

Bad dudes isn’t co-op on nes, and Ikari Warriors is one of the worst games of all time haha.

[@roddyb33]

I love your channel!

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thank you!

[@Nikos_rebetis]

jurassic park with a 2 player mode on nes is also very good and keroppi to keroriinu no splash bomb. Shoud give it a try

[@ClassicCo-op]

Jurassic park has a 2 player mode? Is it co-op? Didn’t know about that one!

[@Nikos_rebetis]

@@ClassicCo-op yes on nes only

[@youyououmf8200]

chip n dale has another nes game

[@ClassicCo-op]

Yeah, love that one too!

[@leehamilton7788]

The list had to many unlicensed later releases. Jakal . legendary wings . And chip an Dale were my fav. Rushing attack as well

[@ClassicCo-op]

It was only a handful of unlicensed games. They’re all really good, and not many people talk about them.

[@72A1D372]

Great video!

[@ClassicCo-op]

Thank you!🙏🏻

[@Stryomich1992]

Where to get ROM. Black Pearl Tell me, maybe someone has it. Very very necessary.

[@ClassicCo-op]

I don’t think the full game has been released yet. There’s a demo available though. I got the name wrong though - it’s black jewel. You can get the demo at itch.io

[@buzzmattn6539]

Really enjoyed Rodland and SilkWorm on the Amiga. I've got SilkWorm for the NES here. Which is quite hard to find in Europe.

[@ClassicCo-op]

They’re both great! How does the nes version of silkworm compare to the Amiga?

[@SILENTROOMMF2D]

Snow Bros ✨🎮🤗

[@ClassicCo-op]

It’s a great game!

[@SILENTROOMMF2D]

@@ClassicCo-op i know, greetings ✨

[@inceptional]

Yeah, the NES list of co-op games is definitely way better than the Master System one. I presume you have a SNES list in the works? :D

[@ClassicCo-op]

Definitely better haha. Yes, I’m working on snes video now. Hopefully out in the next few weeks.

[@inceptional]

@@ClassicCo-op Sweet. :)

[@John-ps3pu]

No Probotector/Contra?

[@ClassicCo-op]

We went with super C.

[@BanditTheCat2017]

Fun fact: Xybots wasn't released

[@ClassicCo-op]

It’s surprisingly good!

[@pheonixmmkc]

I love the homebrew games

[@ClassicCo-op]

Me too! Check out are full video about co-op nes homebrews!

[@alexshadowfax1119]

Am I the only one who finds chip n dale difficult? All I hear is how easy it is, youll beat it your first time lol Ive struggled with it and quit in frustration, I find Castlevania less frustrating than Chip n Dale's.

[@ClassicCo-op]

I thought it was really hard too. Then at some point it just clicked and I was able to beat it pretty easily. Once you get past the first level, it gets easier, I think. You just have to master the hiding in crates move.

[@alexshadowfax1119]

@@ClassicCo-op You can hide in the boxes? I did not know that you can do that, I watched a playthrough and they never hid in the boxes, but it was by arcus who's a speed runner. I'll try out the hiding, thanks.

[@ClassicCo-op]

@@alexshadowfax1119 yeah, I think you just push down when you’re holding a box. Then when enemies walk into you, they immediately die. It’s helpful!

[@SamusGunship]

I could barely come up with 15 games that were good co-ops and yet you came up with a list of 30, but somehow managed to ignore Contra, Battletoads, Rescue Rangers 2, Ice Climber, Mario Bros. Clu Clu Land, TMNT III & Double Dragon 3. How did you scrape the bottom of the barrel finding obscure crappy games to fill this list and somehow went right past all these well known good games?

[@ClassicCo-op]

I didn’t ignore those games. I included Contra 2, the first rescue rangers, and tmnt arcade. I wanted diversity in the list and not just a bunch of games from the same series. Most people know about all of those other games, and I wanted to highlight some lesser known titles that I think are better. I promise none of these games are crappy. You should try them!

[@SamusGunship]

@@ClassicCo-op ok maybe i dismiss some of those games as crappy unfairly. I appreciate the thought. Yeah, I thought perhaps you didnt include some because you had already mentioned another game of the series. People often do that when listing games, such as only giving mention of one and not all six Mega Man games. Personally I don't agree with leaving all of the rest out. I would list each game to be its own game, regardless of how similar it is to another in the series of NES games. In any regard, though I don't agree with your approach on that, I understand and appreciate it. Anyway, cool video.

[@davidbielsa5188]

Timestamps pls

[@ClassicCo-op]

I’ll try to update

[@skyvvards4434]

and Nintendo world cup? :')

[@aloneworm7]

You missed Bomberman and Battle City

[@ClassicCo-op]

Bomberman doesn’t have co-op on nes, but I love Battle city. Thanks for watching!

[@Nighteye88]

Thanks for the micro mages me recommendation. Something that looks fun to play with rhe wife.
