2 Player Games

Two players share a single device in this collection. You each get one half: one person handles the keyboard's left keys or the upper part of the display, their rival uses the right keys or the lower part, and both of you play simultaneously. Among them you'll find sports contests, a few board games, and one where you dash for a car and speed off.

Success here comes down to reflexes and good timing, with some forward planning thrown in. During the sports titles you fire, feed passes and defend while your opponent does the same, so keeping an eye on them counts as much as your own actions. Board games move at a calmer pace: you look several turns ahead and work to corner your rival.

Give these a go: Basketball Stars for head-to-head shooting contests, Master Chess when you prefer to think things through, and Steal Car Duel for a loud, fast-paced round.
