    I play FIFA multiplayer on PC. I'd recommend the PS2 to USB converter Play.com sell. If you just have a keyboard then I'd assume it's just one player.

    Other two player games on PC I've played are Madden and TOCA Race Driver 2. And hot seat mode of championship manager or Alpha Centauri(not sure if Civ 3 has this?) if you're really patient. I'm sure there's others but it's usually only console conversions. PC games are generally only multiplayer over a network since this is how PCs are commonly used and most people dont have joypads for them.

    Get yourself some emulators of the old consoles and arcade games. There are some fantastic 2-4 player games on them.

    Go to www.zophar.net for all your emulator needs. Best ones to get are:

    zsnes: for snes
    Gens: For Megadrive
    Mame: For arcade games
    Callus: Quite a nice emulator for capcom arcade games (most of which are great for 2 player
    Project 64: For N64 (only a few games are near perfect but the main ones are including mario kart 64)
    ePSXe: playstation

    Can't tell you where to find roms since it's against charter rules but i'm sure a search will get some results.

    If you like streets of rage type games then i advise you check out most of the Capcom games especially Alien vs. Predator, Final Fight, Punisher, the Dungeons and Dragons games and Konami's Simpsons arcade game (still the best simpsons game) all of which work great on mame.

    Edit: Gunstar Heroes on the megadrive is the mac daddy of two player games.
