Hi,

friends and i thought about playing computer games
on a party. But not everyone can/wants to bring his
own pc or console, and most games only support one
or two players per device at the same time. And waiting
til its your turn is just too boring.

Now, a single PC theoretically allows hooking up up to
127 joysticks via USB.

Does anyone know games that support 4 or more players,
together on a single PC, at the same time?

(they should ideally be party suited, e.g. simple enough
to be fun immediately without prior experience)

If no such beast exists - would there be interest in
getting one programmed (free simple game with simple
graphics etc)



thanks for answering,
    Andreas
