Playing Multiplayer Games with Yourself
You might be tired of playing the same games over and over again so here is a good challenge for you: play all those games again in the multi player mode with you controlling the two players.
Picking the right games is what you need to do now. I would pick Ignition, Rollcage, Gun Star Heroes, General Chaos, Pokemon Blue and Silver. These are just a few, feel free to try any game you want.
After that select the keyboard keys you prefer but remember you will have to play with both hands so take your time, do not rush, or you will have a bad experience. Pick the ones you are already used to, this way you do not have to remember them.

Racing games are the toughest ones, they require more attention, skills reaction time and dexterity than any other game. Rollcage can have up to four players in a single computer. If you ever master to drive the four cars a the same time, you are a god of multitasking with a blessed parallel processing brain.
Pokemon is probably the easiest one. Even if you accelerate the game with the + button, you can still have time to think about your next move in battles. The game is real timed only in open areas, where you lose only if your only or last pokemon faints to poison. Have always one antidote with you for this rare but bad situation.
You can try games with two laptops working in a network. With wireless LANs it’s easy to set your own amusement park. Three computers might be the limit for any reasonable skilled human.
What games can you play with multiple players at the same time over a network? Any and all. Even games you never thought of playing in the same machine such as Unreal Tournament can be played over a network of laptops. Just imagine the potential.

Why should you try this kind of gaming?
1- It’s a new and crazy experience. Honestly, no one will believe you can do such thing. This should go for the Guiness records like the casino player that can play with 64 tables at the same time and winning almost them all.
2- You take your whole brain to a new level of thinking. You need to do double or triple thinking, all in real time, with a very fast neuron response and the worse the situation is, the faster the brain improvement will be.
3- You will have so much fun. Do not take my word, try it yourself.
