Some very late-to-the-thread game ideas, feel free to use them or laugh at them. If you do make mega millions from one of them, please remember me!
2 player local co-op. Shoot em up. Top down. One player drives a tank with a forward facing gun, controls gun and countermeasures too. Other player controls the turret, main gun, and missiles. You roam around and baddies drive/fly at you in random patterns and with random tactics. No fixed attack patterns!
Another one: side-on party co-op qwop fighting game. One pair of people per combatant. One person controls legs, the other controls arms.
And another: strategy game where combat is resolved by solving word and math problems. Can handicap one player by giving them harder puzzles, so a 10 year old could fight a 50 year old.
Another: top down space shooter. Co-op, players' ships are tethered together and can swing each other around, think Asteroid style boosts. Powerups can change tether attributes, players can combo together for more powerful attacks.

Not saying they're good ideas, just ideas!
