Lemmings is one of the only games I know where (on my Amiga1000) I can plug in two mice and play two-players each with a mouse-cursor. The two-player competitive-gods dynamic is actually super thrilling and creative and I’d love to see it done again. I expect the mainline desktop OS/UI stack doesn’t know how to handle it!
- ekianjo 8y agoI wonder if they can actually properly emulate that mode in UAE?
- LeoPanthera 8y agoYes, using the ManyMouse library. https://fs-uae.net/docs/mouse https://fs-uae.net/docs/mouse
- steveridout 8y agoI loved 2 player Lemmings! Another Amiga game we played a lot which required 2 mice was The Settlers.
- mmjaa 8y agoYou can totally set up multiple mouse(s) on Linux, and graphics cards too, and even use one machine with multiple keyboard/mouse/monitor rigs to give everyone their own X session .. assuming you've got the metal for it.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoThat's a different use case: one cursor controlled by multiple mice, or multiple completely independent sessions. This is two cursors in a single session - the only case I've seen is this, and even that seems messy: https://pluralinput.com/ https://pluralinput.com/
- mmjaa 8y agoWell, and then there's multitouch. ahem touchegg &etc.
- Nr7 8y agoI think the first Settlers game on the Amiga had the same feature.
- 80386 8y agoThere's a Lemmings clone called Lix which has networked competitive multiplayer, but I don't know how it works. (I designed a few levels for the single-player mode which may or may not still be in the standard level pack, but didn't do much else with it.)
- Veve 8y agoThe Settlers 2 on PC could also be played with 2 mices.
