Recently made a close friend with similar tastes in my uni dnd group and I remembered I have retroarch. Anyone knows fun 2 player retro games we can try? Fantasy and rpg games especially. Thank you!

The old sidescrolling fighting games like TMNT on the NES/SNES were pretty good. Sticking with SNES, super mario kart, street fighter, and all important: NBA JAM!
How has no one recommended Dungeons and Dragons: Tower of Doom and Shadow Over Mystara? Classic Capcom beat 'em ups with a ridiculous level of D&D added on top.
Cast a spell at the Beholder? Bad idea, unless it’s looking the other way. Dwarves find extra treasure, there are tons of secrets and hidden items, the cleric can turn undead, it’s a ton of fun. Available via emulation or as a 2-pack on Steam.

Retro, coin-op, fantasy, co-op games that follow DnD classes, and first came to mind are:
Magic Sword
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Sword:_Heroic_Fantasy
Dark Seal (AKA Gate of Doom)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Seal
Also, Magician Lord is a decent fantasy platformer that is listed as multiplayer(I only remember seeing it single player though)

[ Bubble Bobble is the GOAT of arcade coop. Look up the Power-Up cheat code, for input into the attract screen]
If you want something emulated, Golden Axe or Gauntlet Dark Legacy for action or Baldur’s Gate Dark Alliance for action RPG.
If you’re open to expanding the horizons a bit, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands is a lot of fun. But it is a lot of mayhem and explosions and such. If you’re familiar with Borderlands, it’s that with DnD sauce.
Well, it’s fantasy (jrpg) and a real classic co-op - secret of mana for snes:

https://www.nintendojo.com/features/columns/retro-scope/retro-scope-secret-of-manaI saw this one mentioned online, but how far into the story does second character option become available if I may ask?
Shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes or so depending on how fast you are.
Thanks! (I must acquire the context myself)
How retro do you wanna go?
Divinity Original Sin, and the sequel, are older and both excellent
Ooh I love how chaotic it looks. Appreciate it!
Very chaotic, incredibly hard. The dlc race and class add-ons are fun to. Love playing as a succubus and having a horde of charmed creatures do my bidding!
