Contra for the NES. This goes beyond just the fact that it was as fun as hell, because we needed more than two people to do it! How you ask? Well, as everyone knows it's almost impossible to beat Contra without using the Konami Code. The added problem was that my brother and I were quite young (I was 7 and he was 5) and we couldn't enter the code fast enough. We always had to go get my mom to enter the code for us because she could do it. Of course she had it memorized because we played it so often.
To this day, my mother remembers liking Contra because it always caused us to cooperate. There was a level in Contra where you kept jumping up higher and higher and higher and if you went too fast, your buddy would die from going off the bottom of the screen. During that level, you could hear us both saying "watch your buddy!" over and over and over again, as a warning to the other person if they were getting too high. My brother and I used to fight a lot at that age, but when we were playing Contra we always got along great and had a ton of fun.
