We have two computers, but mine is hooked up to the gigundo flat screen TV and I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any awesome RPGs that can be played by two people on the same computer. I know the older SNES, PS2 games etc. can be played with emulators but I was hoping for something newer/shinier.

As a bonus, does anyone know how we could split the TV screen to play between two computers? One through the VGA hookup and one through HDMI or both through HDMI?

Thanks!!!

AFAIK, it's not possible to split up 1 screen like how you want to.

As for the requests... the only split screen games I know are console based... so unfortunately, I cannot recommend you one.

I know with dish network (and I guess some other providers) you can get PAP (Picture and picture) or PIP (Picture in picture) and split the screen between a channel and a game console or computer or other inputs. I just called Comcast and apparently they don't do it anymore? =(

That is super helpful, though, that you can confirm what I've spent the past few hours figuring out. Just console based games for split screen play. Bah.

Fire Boy and Water Girl isn't really an RPG, but it's pretty darn fun to play with two players.
