I have to say, mine is Champions of Norrath as well. So many hours put into that game. There is just something about it that begs you to play it all night if you have a free weekend.
X-Men Legends was a great one. Since I have four brothers we literally played that one from dawn till dusk without stop. I remember my eyes going pretty bloodshot because I was too young to know when to goddamn stop playing a game. It's too bad that the sequel and MUA didn't manage to capture the same charm, but we had some fun with them anyways. Good times.
Recently though, we had a blast with Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World. Playing that game by yourself or even with two people is kind of boring, but the chaos that comes with four players and the general hilarity made it a great time (plus it's really well put together beat em up).
Easily Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II. I remember playing that game with a few friends religiously from Christmas 2002, all the way through the summer of 2003.
You know what, I'll say playing Bad Company 2 in a squad with three buddies. Still co-op since you aren't killing the three other players, rather coordinating with them.
I've had the most fun with castle crashers, x-men legends 1 and 2 and LOZ: four swords. Though fun may be pushing it with that last one it nearly broke our friendships with each other. If you forget the co-op and just want four player gaming then nothing beats smash bros melee!
Borderlands. While the game is fun in single player, it becomes ridiculosly fun with three other people. Granted I played it on a PC and didn't have the experience of playing in the same room as four other people.
Honorable mention: All those 4-player Arcade Beat'em Ups (The Avengers, X-Men, Simpsons etc.).
My friends and I freshman year of college all got together and played Tales of Vesperia all summer. We clocked in over 100 hours beating it on hard. It was an amazing summer.
the Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicle games are great for co-op and so was the Zelda: Four Swords. Castle Crashers is a great download game and any of the Halo games are amazingly fun on co-op.

Oooooh that's a good one. I never got into PSO on Dreamcast but totally loved it on GameCube with 4 player co-op.
Favorite would easily be Rock Band. Runners-up: Borderlands, Castle Crashers, Halo... and I guess Left 4 Dead, even though I haven't played it in forever.
I'd have to go with any of the Halo games (well, assuming they are 4 player co-op I guess), as well as Rock Band. Can't go wrong with either of those. Castle Crashers is also a blast.
