Split-screen games


Recommended Posts

Hello, does anyone know some fun, cool split-screen games, and where I could get them? - You know those free old fashion games, just so two players can play together, I am playing sometimes with my girlfriend, and it is only atomic bomberman, but it's becoming a little boring...

I posted a reply to a similar thread about 2 years ago. I'll just copy and paste it here:

At uni we're always trying to figure out what 2+ player games we can play. Over the last 2 years these are the games that we find ourselves playing (the bold ones are the ones we play a lot). SS means splitscreen ie everyone plays at once. HS means hot seat ie people take turns

N64:

  • F-Zero (up to 4p) SS
  • Goldeneye (up to 4p) SS
  • International Superstar Soccer (up to 4p) SS
  • Jet Force Gemini (up to 4p) SS
  • Mario Golf (up to 4p) HS
  • Mario Kart 64 (up to 4p) SS
  • Mario Party (up to 4p) SS/HS
  • Mario Tennis (up to 4p) SS
  • Micro Machine 64 (up to 4p) SS
  • Super Smash Bros (up to 4p) SS

SNES

  • Secret of Mana (up to 3p) SS
  • Micro Machines 1+2 (up to 4p) SS
  • Battletoads (up to 2p) SS
  • Super Bomberman (up to 4p) SS
  • F-Zero (i think up to 4p) SS
  • Street Fighter (up to 2p) SS
  • Sunset Riders (up to 2p) SS

Arcade (aka Mame / Neogeo)

  • King of Fighters (up to 2p) SS
  • Street Fighter (up to 2p) SS
  • Metal Slug (up to 2p) SS

PC

  • Worms World Party (up to loads of players) HS
  • Marvel Ultimate Alliance (up to 2p) SS
  • House of the Dead 3 (up to 2p. For us one with wii remote, the other with mouse) SS
  • Serious Sam - Second Encounter (up to 4p) SS - one of the only pc fps splitscreeners i know off
  • Trackmania (up to loads of players) HS
  • UltraStar (up to 4 players / how many mics you have) SS
  • Stepmania (up to 2p) SS
  • Heroes of Might and Magic (up to 4p I think) HS

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this, but all the games listed can be played on the PC if you don't have the consoles listed. So we just have the one pc connected to our projector and play all these games that way. But make sure you own the original games etc.

[Edit] Forgot to Mention:

PC

  • Lego Starwars (up to 2p) SS - suprisingly a lot of fun
  • Kayne and Lynch (up to 2p) SS

Added to that list (since 2008) of PC games:

  • Blur (up to 4p) SS - New racing game out, need 1 keyboard and 1-3 xbox 360 controllers
  • Split/Second (up to 2p) SS - Another new racing game just out
  • Left4Dead (up to 2p) SS - The popular valve game has a mod that lets you enable split screen. It might even manage 4 players but cant remember
  • Unreal Tournament 3 (up to 4p) SS - Also has a mod that enables 4 player splitscreen

Yeah, what console and what kind of games does she like? (Or is she just playing so you two have something to do together/to try and get into it with you?)
