There were a lot of two player "picture book" (as opposed to the usual solo text-based) gamebooks published in the 1980s, ultimately inspired by Ace of Aces (which from 1980 was the first as far as I know). There were the "Lost Worlds" swordfighting ones, there were dragon-rider ones based on the "Dragonriders of Pern" series, ones where you were Old West gunfighters, etc.
