Since you're willing to look at PC games, I should mention the few that I know.
Starcraft Diablo 2 Kohan Unreal
All of those can be set up as to-player cooperative. At the same time, the enemies in some of them are pretty dumb. Starcraft or Kohan would probably be your best bet because the strategy generally requires that you communicate with each other. My wife and I used to play a lot of cooperative Starcraft.
On the PS1, I can remember Gauntlet and Legend of Mana. In Legend of Mana, though, the second player is very definitely secondary, and not always present.
I don't think starting age is involved, actually. To me, it appears to be a strength of the hands thing. I have some of the symptoms of carpal tunnel and have fought off repeated stress injury. Four fingers tingled from the impact of hitting keys too much. I know a guy who has extremely severe carpal tunnel, to the point that he needed surgery back in high school.. He and I both started using computers before we were ten years old, and we are both around 25 now. We also have similarly structured hands.
An the other side, you have people like my father and my co-workers who all have, I can only describe it as "thicker", hands. Larger fingers, larger wrists, more apparent mass there. None of them have any problems at all.
And then (just to be complete) there's the guy with tiny, thin hands and an old IBM keyboard (you know... the kind of thing that could survive a fall from the fourth floor) who pounds on the keyboard continuously... and has absolutely no problems at all.
Since my hands always feel worse when I'm typing, and the pain continues after a long coding session, I have wonder what these people who wrote the article can point to as the actual source of carpal tunnel and RSI. It would be one thing to say that computer use is not the primary cause of it. It's something else entirely to say that computer use has no impact, or that the syndroms don't actually exist at all.
Yes, a counter-suit is possible. It has been done, and I suspect it often results in victory *if* the original suit failed. I know people who have fallen victim to these... people who levied a frivilous lawsuit to begin with.
How much money you could get back on this, though, may amount to nothing more than repayment for your time, trouble, and legal fees.

I'll cast my vote this way, also.
I just wish I could play with all of my Windows friends, but there is still no patch to enable network compatibility.
