Co & Co

An early and mostly unheard-of platformer from John Vanderaart, programmer of Eindeloos and Hopeloos (Endless and Hopeless). You control one character while the second player controls the other, and you must work together to get to the next level as quickly as you can. The story is that in the year 1639 the magic sword Excalibur, once the property of King Arthur was broken into two pieces by the evil Grav von Schwarzherzen, during one of his sentimental journeys. He hid the two pieces in a labyrinth on a mystical island in the Aegean sea. Together, you and a friend, can get past the fierce resistance and get to the final level. Versions of this game were released with a single player mode, but it is geared primarily towards 2 player play.
