The best co-op game ever?
I only started playing games in 1998, my first console an N64. Usually, when I go back to play an old game that has been reviewed well, it turns out the person who reviewed it was looking at it through rose-tinted glasses.
One of my friends convinced me to try this game on GameTap (which has an online mode which we used for co-op), and I obliged, not expecting much.
I played this game until 5 in the fucking morning.
I didn't understand a damned thing about it, either, the whole game is made up of crazy power-ups and play mechanics, and we'd routinely fuck ourselves over by getting trapped or running out of time, but it was incredibly fun.
So that's Bubble Bobble. Go play it with a friend.
