Games for two

Games for two gave rise to such a concept as multiplayer. In those days, when there was no internet or local network, the games used mode 2 player. It was mainly arcades, racing, fighting games, simulators, "rogue" and "shooter. However, as today, but with a smaller scale in technical terms. Two can play even Mario in the end of 80-ies, though not simultaneously, and in turn, in competition mode, where the victory goes to whoever will move up the level and get the most points.

Play two, especially in competition mode is much more interesting than competing with the computer. In the old races, for example, this feature was implemented by "splitscreen", when the screen of one monitor is divided into two parts (horizontal or vertical), and two players are competing for speed in real time, being at the same PC, laptop or TV (in the case of the console). Roughly the same system worked in action shooters and adventures, until the aforementioned Internet and local area networks came along.

Games for two on the same PC unite and promote live communication, emotions here and now. They make gameplay even more exciting and fun, because their task is to bring together two gamers, make them or a team to achieve common goals, or rivals, vying for the title of best fighter in the game Mortal Kombat, or for the title of fastest racer, in Need For Speed.
