splitscreen Split-screen Videogames

[CyrodiilWarrior]

Hi,

I've been searching for split-screen videogames. It seems they're more rare than your standard videogames, but some still exist.

I have a physical Windows PC and a physical PlayStation 4. As for videogames emulation, I've used PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, Nintendo 64, and Nintendo NES.

Whenever I have any friend(s) round the house, I want to be able to game together, rather than one person watching the other play. I want us both to game at the same time as each other and have fun. Couch split-screen gaming, pretty much!

Any suggestions??

Pretty sure all of the Steam Lego® games, when in 2-player mode, will split the screen [when the 2 characters are far enough apart].

Years ago, I saw a prototype for a Big Box plugin that would allow you to launch 2 to 4 games at once and would split the screen accordingly.  e.g. 4 games would split the screen into quadrants (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right).  They could be the same game or 4 different games.  Setup was not for the faint of heart. A bit of manually modifying your Big Box theme(s), having 4 complete installs of the emulator(s), and a bunch of other pre-configuring.  The "4 complete installs" were installs on your hard drive. You couldn't just add e.g. the same install of RetroArch to LaunchBox 4 times.   Early testing showed that it was working well. But the author, unfortunately is no longer around.
