I'll start with my own examples:

Gunstar Heroes: Sega Genesis, Treasure (1993)
Treasure is known for creating vibrant and wacky games, and this one is probably the most famous. Given a range of powerful weapons and waves of enemies to explode, clearing a path through the madness with a friend is exhillarating... until you start fighting over items and stealing each other's health to get back in the game if you die. Available to play on the Wii's Virtual Console.

Phantasy Star Online: Dreamcast/Gamecube, Sonic Team (2001)
Before World of Warcraft, online RPGs were very different, and PSO was one of the first games of the genre on a video game console, rather than on PC. Set in a distant future, players form teams of explorers and mercenaries to investigate the mysterious planet Ragol. The arcade-like gameplay gave things a more frantic feel than other RPGs of the time, and the teamwork element was tantamount to survival - the difficulty of later stages is rock hard. The game servers are now hosted by fans; so you can play the PC version for free! Find it at http://www.schtserv.com/
