Looking for a good top view co-op

Awesome, thanks for all the suggestions. Most of those are new to me, so I appreciate it.

@thedeathstar if you like arcade, Smash TV is fun to beat. Vindicators is another top-down coop (tanks). RipOff is fun and fast, not really a campaign. Then there are shooters like 194x, DoDonPachi, TwoTigers etc.

@thedeathstar Blasteroids, especially when you join ships together.

Oh! How could we forget Zombies Ate My Neighbors?! I'm used to play the SNES version, but wikipedia says that there's a MegaDrive version too.

There's also a stellar hack available entitled, 'Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors!' that features:

55 new levels, including 8 Bonus levels, a new Credit Level, and a secret Mystery level
Reverse Inventory Cycling - Nothing I hated worse in the original game than
being chased by a werewolf, franticly hitting the B button looking for the
silverware, accidently passing it, and having to search through the entire
weapons stock again. Now if you hold down the "L" button, you can search
backwards through your weapons and items inventories. The formerly unused "Select"
button not brings up the victim radar.
Random Starting Items and Weapons - When you start a new game or put in a password,
you will start with any weapon or item in the game (chosen at random) instead of
always getting the squirtgun and healthkit. All the ammo amounts have been
pre-selected for each weapon and item, so you won't start with 10 tomatos or 255
healthkits.
New Weapon: Banana - The banana weapon, which was replaced with the popsicle and
dummied out of the final release has been added to the game.
New Enemy: Soda Machines - These possessed vending machines hurl a never-ending
supply of soda skyward. When they land, the explosion hurts any player in the blast
radius. You can run inbetween explosions if you time it right, or blow the machine
up with a bazooka and be rewarded with a 6-pack. Monster punches will also kill
the machine, but also destroys the 6-pack.
New End of Level Bonus: Frankenstein Destroy Bonus (2000 points)
New End of Level Bonus: Monster Frozen Bonus (2000 points)
New Victim: Blue Cheerleader - She's alot like the old cheerleader, but she has
a BLUE DRESS!!!!

I haven't heard of that before - the original was one of my favourite games ever so thanks for the heads-up, will grab it and have a play, i guess it is SNES?

It is indeed, sir.

I remember playing a lot of Bomberman '94 on the PC Engine/TG16 with my girl friend back in the day! This version supported up to 5 players at once! I think there's been a Bomberman/Dyna Blaster game ported to just about every retro console, handheld and the arcade.
