44. Contra (NES)


Forget Gears of War, Contra is the best co-op game for feeling like a two-man army. It’s up to the blue guy and red guy to stop Red Falcon and end the alien invasion. You play the game like a madman, shooting everything in front of you and watching enemies explode in all their 8 bit glory. You can even shoot while spinning around in the air, which looks absolutely awesome. The bosses in Contra steal the show, from the giant head of a monster that seems like it came from the movie Alien, to a robot who likes to jump around and tap dance on your face. Konami pulled out all the stops here. Just remember to stick with the spread gun.
