If you like Musou style games, those are a blast with local co-op.

I still enjoy the game solo, but I certainly could imagine that game being a lot more fun with a competent player partner.

I've played it a little bit with my roommate, and it is a lot of fun co-op, while still being a decent challenge.

A few really god ones I've played:

Champions of Norrath and Champtions of Norrath Return to Arms
Yoshi's Wooly World

brazbit:
* Bubble Bobble
* Contra
* Rampage (It can be co-op... until one of you "accidentally" eats the other and then it becomes a brawler forget the stinking buildings... meanwhile the third player knocks down the rest of the city taking the lead and the newspaper pops up reminding you what the whole point is and then it is co-op again until that damned monkey boy knocks you off a building....)
* Double Dragon (At least until the end)
* Gauntlet (Blue wizard needs food badly... ahh foo... ^%@^#!! the damn elf just shot the food... and thus begins a life long hatred of elves.)
* Golden Axe (All's fair in love and gnome punting)
* TMNT/Xmen/Simpsons etc... cooperative brawlers (Up to six people crowded around a single cabinet working together is awesome)
* Xenophobe (Triple Split Screen action)

Being a huge Atari fan I wanted to put more Atari games on this list but multiplayer games were almost exclusively competitive or turn based back then. Almost all of these became series for good reasons.
