same goes for maniac mansion, and same with the Goblins series (Gobliiins, gobliins 2 and goblins 3) you could have multiple players.

Goblins 3 had only a single player character, so that wouldn't work. The previous ones were "cooperative" in much the same sense as DOTT and Maniac Mansion.

You're right. When I was 10-15, I played the SCUMM games with my school friends. Sometimes we gathered around the same computer to play for a while, but not always. We also played alone, and when we met during school, we talk about what we were able to do on our own last evening. And together we were always able to finish the games.

Same here. It's a great experience playing adventure games together even if the game itself only has one player character. The way you sort of collectively brainstorm your way through the game is great fun, and it's also great to play the same game separately, then meeting the group and sharing thoughts and solutions.
So I'd say adventure games are already co-op games but not in the "traditional" sense.
