It comes courtesy of Aerothorn, who asks:What is your favorite co-op gaming memory?
“I used to play Descent with me piloting and my friend gunning!”
So which games make us think of happy times with pals and good company?
Come and find out below.
Alice Bee:My favourite co-op memories are all couch co-op.
When I was a teenager my friend Tim would host LAN parties in his garage.
I used to play Halo co-op with Geoff as well.
Ah, to be young again (actually no, it sucked).
I’ve also spent many a cosy December evening playing local multiplayer games with the whole family.
James:The oldDayZmod was a 225km2 adrenaline factory, even with a pal by your side.
My favourite memory: a mutter of “Do you hear that?
“, followed by hitting the deck as a helicopter tore overhead.
This was my life for those glorious years.
Kiera:I used to play a lot ofCrash Bandicootback in the day with my older brother.
Crash Twinsanity was our favourite and to this day it has major nostalgic value for me.
We were awful, to be clear.
Alice0:I still feel nostalgia for my first time playing an FPS, playingDoom 2together with a pal.
Not in co-op, sharing the keyboard.
How would they even manage to look at the keys?
It is a peaceful game, mind, andPip and I often just hung out and moppedwith chums.
Wiggling like a cat preparing to pounce.
Then I notice a pair of rubber gloves behind the torso.
Then I hear our mate Dan stifling giggles.
Honestly, any game is magic in co-op with the right people, but Viscera Cleanup Detail feels extra-magic.
You’re helping each other, sure, but sometimes you’re ‘helping’ too.
I can never tell Pip the mischief I caused, so I’m telling you the mischief Dan caused.
