Among many others, the Capcom beat-em-up family, including Final Fight, Knights of the Round, Shadow over Mystara, The Punisher, Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, Alien vs. Predator... then the Konami family of beat-em-ups, including The Simpsons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Cowboys of Moo Mesa...
Then Konami's shooting platformers including Contra, Sunset Riders...
A personal favorite of mine is Strike Force, Midway's 2P co-op descendant of Defender.

With good reason! Co-op play with family or good friends is great. As I'm sure you've seen, many also go to the trouble of a 4P.
(Of course, MAMEHub/CSMAME address the long-distance issue, but local buddy-play is not to be forsaken.)
