It's not like FPSs where the fun is jumping about and shooting at things; in adventures the pleasure comes from solving puzzles and interacting with other characters. I have played several games with my GF where one of us would be in charge of the mouse and we'd both discuss what to do next. She is not a great fan of the Lucas Arts classics (Monkey Island, Sam and Max, DOTT Etc.) but she did enjoy: 1) Gabriel Knight - 1 - 3. 2) Broken Sword - 1 & 2. 3) The Secret Files - all 3. If you want to play co-op games on separate PCs, sorry I don't know of any adventures that work that way.
