If it wasn't for Mark, who I've known since I was ten, I'd be mostly a solo gamer too.
Passing the controller is co-op to me. You mentioning Myst reminded me of when my friend Sean and I played that game together. We'd just figure out the puzzles together. I forget who moved through the environment. That wasn't the point of it though. It was thinking together on a problem. Thanks for reminding me of that. It's a fond memory.
I totally remember moving from couch co-op games in the 90s, to lan and network co-op games on Xbox and PC in the early 2000s, to full online co-op from around the beginning of Xbox 360.
I just downloaded Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime on Xbox Live Games with Gold. That supports four player couch co-op, but I don't have anyone to play that kind of co-op game at the moment. I'll play it solo.
