So can you recommend such games? Gamepad can be required  ;) Of course plz don't post such obvious things like FIFA or PES  ;D

NHL? :P

But seriously DiRT3 has splitscreen multiplayer. Worms is another option, and helluva fun. Can't remember other right now..
I'd rather play Kimble with my ass!

NHL09 is the latest I think for pc.

Jamestown, Shank, LieroX, Blur, Magicka. Flatout 2 I think atleast has some sort of multiplayer capabilities on same computer.

Also emulators for psone is nice though I think you'd need to own the originals for it to be legal.

Worms Reloaded seemed like a huge disappointment. AFAIK you can only have 4 worms.

But yeah, old school worms is great (Worms 2/armageddon).

Google "Liero", awesome worms-lookalike. But funnier
"Achtung die Kurve" - google this. It's GREAT fun (mostly with 3+ players though).

Can't think of any new games though.
I see were you are trying to reach: "how can a 17 year old kid have such a thinking like this? why doesnt he wants to be like normal teens who whana get rich? and his plan actually makes sense, but is too damn revolutionary and good at the same time than is still doubthfull if it works..." - Damaso

Absolutely! There is a new online version, but not half as fun. Crowding and trying to get 6 people playing on the same keyboard is a big part of the fun

Little Fighter 2 is fun and a bit skill based. You can do pretty neat and action-movie like tricks.

This post brought up so many good memories of me and my friends playing split screen: I can name a couple of old classics...I'm sure if you run dosbox you can run these games on any modern Pc. Also check out this link: http://www.abandonia.com/en/game/all

Split screen / Turn-based games:
Micromachines (racing)
SuperKarts
Lemmings 3D
Carmageddon
Street fighter
Mortal Kombat

Last but not least Gorilla Bas!

The Heroes of Might and Magic series has got a hotseat mode, likewise Civilization.

Most turn-based PC strategy games do AFAIK.

Those hotseat modes are sorta lame imo, takes so much time and most of it being waiting.
