So I've been trying to convince my sister to get into pc gaming for a while. She's been gaming on consoles for a while now and is starting to get more interested in pc's. But she only has a crappy old Dell laptop so she can't run anything AAA. What I'm looking for is a list of games with a strong coop / multiplayer element so I can showcase what pc gaming has to offer, preferably something we can play together locally but that's not essential.

My list so far:
Magicka
Castle Crashers
Monaco
Torchlight 2
Cube World
Skullgirls

Cheers.

Try Trine 1 and 2
Girls love Diablo 2, and hack'n slash games in general .
Terraria
Worms series
Rock of Ages
Dungeon Defenders
Limbo
World of Goo
Braid
Trine 1 and 2
Aquaria! With a gamepad - she'll probably prefer that. It's single-player, though, but very good.
What games does she like to play on consoles?
Braid, Papo & Yo, Fez.

She loves platformers, fps and rpgs for the most part.

These are some great suggestions guys. Thanks a lot :).

FPS ? In that case, Painkiller and the Serious Sam games here on GOG should do the job right :D
I recommend To The Moon and The Longest Journey.
Not indie but Lara Croft Guardian of Light should run on a laptop I think. It has a great (local) coop mode. Maybe Dungeon Siege 3. Not a very good on its own when playing alone but fun in coop. Local gameplay is also possible.
Princess Maker
Season of Sakura
True Love
...
Not sure if her laptop can run it, but Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams seems like a good idea to me.
Why must they be Indie ? There's lots of "mainstream" games that don't need high reqs (like the ones I mentioned) . Also - How old is your sister ?
