I think Serious Sam split screen feature can allow only 2 players at a
time.
I don't know of any pc game that could allow up to 4 players at he same
time in one computer.
You can try some quiz game type like: :Who wants to be the millionaire"
or "Sale of the century", I believe they allow for multiple players on
one screen :)
