5 Must Play Retro Co-op Games

After reading Nash’s article on Next-Gen Co-op games, I was inspired to write my own. I’ve been gaming since my kiddy days and I’m a bit of an old fart when it comes to gaming (find it hard to keep up with next-gen stuff at times); so I’ve decided to make a list of the best 5 retro Co-op games I’ve played over the years (22 to be precise). So read on, and give them a shot; there’s a download link below each game that’ll allow you to play them (courtesy of Games4Win), since they’re pretty much freeware now...

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist

The Hyperstone Heist was released for the Sega Mega Drive way back in 1992. I remember playing hours and hours of this game with my friends, trying to finish it using the few amounts of Lives and Continues it provided – the game was really, really tough. Even though it was tough, the robust, fast paced combat system or the fact that the game was based on the Turtles (I mean who didn’t love them back then, right?) that kept us hooked and craving for that pizza-munching, butt-kicking action.

The 2 Player mode allowed both players to pick a ninja from Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, each of which had their own weapon and unique moves. The game’s difficulty scaled when you played it in co-op (which wasn’t the case with most co-op games back then), which made sure that you’d be on your green toes all the time, and be pleasantly challenged by crap-loads of goons thrown at you. Out of all the Turtles, I loved playing Donatello the most since the Bo he used had a longer reach that the others, making him a sorta mid-ranged combatant. Try the game out for yourself and decide which one of the four you like.
