    Afternoon all,

    I just set up an HTPC in my sitting room running through a 32" lcd over the fireplace.

    Can anyone reccommed any good multiplayer games that run on one machine. ie not over a network to another pc.

    I just sold my xbox and dont really want to buy a 360 yet.

    Just something i can play with a couple of usb joypads.

    The machine has a 6800gs so gfx is not an issue.

    I was thinking 1st person shooter, footy, racing etc.

    Thanks.

    Get some emulators going. The likes of double dragon, bubble bobble, final fight, streets of rage etc. Legends!

    Also Pro Evo 5 is a gem.

    Serious Sam is the only FPS I know that has split screen gaming but dunno how the controls will work. Not sure if Serious Sam two does the same.

    Can't think of any other game as the pc isn't designed for 1 screen two players.

    As above get yourself an emulator and work that way otherwise fork out for a real console.

    Can play Street Fighter3 on a dreamcast emulator, brilliant fun. And them old action flying games like 1942 or whatever it was where its 2 plans against the whole Luftwaffe (sp?), along with other games of the type, Gradius or whatever it was is brilliant aswell.
