we'd do 4-player 2v2 team games using 2 tvs and a vcr. you plug the n64 into the vcr inputs and then use the AV out on the vcr to one tv and then the RF (coaxial) out to another tv and put the tvs back to back and then use card board to cover up the bottom and top of each screen on each tv.

Back when we used to play 4 player splitscreen nightfire and time splitters. Or any FPS game, we used to split the screen with some cardboard.

Just take one piece of cardboard and split the screen vertically through the middle, attach with tape. And make a split in the middle of the board, make a new, equally sized one and do the same on that one. Then just put the other piece horizontally across the screen and attach with some tape in the corners so it stays up.

I regret not taking pics.

Looks like someone's on duty down voting all the comments in here, and they're doing a pretty good job of it too.

This made Goldeneye WAY more fun, especially when you could see a sliver of their screen to have a slight clue as to where they were.

During 4 player split screen, one of my friends would always yell out "SCREENWATCHER"

We played a ton of 2v2 goldeneye (n64) growing up. We used a splitter to hook 2 TVs up to the n64, facing away from each other, and taped construction paper over the other team's screens. Was epic.

Am i the only one who has thought console developers should start incorporating a way for video output to be distributed from one console to multiple sources based on the number of players, so that if desired each player could have their own screen? It seems entirely feesible to me, but I'm sure someone here will prove me logistically retarded.

I use to be the champion of screen watching, so much so that my pops bought a second xbox so we could play in two separate rooms.

emazzuca · 3 months

sweet, I remember doing this for Goldeneye

xEzio · 3 months

That what I was thinking if they would make a tv like that! Lol

Pistolsmoke · 3 months

Did this with Goldeneye. Got two TV's, put them back to back. And taped half of each screen and played 2 v 2 Multiplayer for entire weekends. I still miss those times.

esaevian · 3 months

It wasn't until late-high-school/college that I knew that screen looking was frowned upon. I mean, their screen is right there! Looking at their screen is just part of the game, else they would have forced lan-only multiplayer between consoles.

Then i stopped playing multiplayer

Or you know, you could just both agree that screen watching is acceptable.

relfy0318 · 3 months

did that alllllll the time and I would still punch my brother underneath the blanket for trying to cheat and look through it.

JimDrizzle · 3 months

I still remember all the 'you're cheating, don't look at my screen' arguments.

triplettjon · 3 months

polarized film is great at this and a set of 3d glasses place it on one side of the screen and you cant see threw it unless you have the glasses on :)

Truce_Giantmidget · 3 months

I feel like one of the few who honored the no screen watching rule. Not because I thought it was wrong but I was just better then my family and friends at all the games we played, and it was barely fun already so I had to handicap myself which made me even better. Then the internet happend and I found out I'm nothing special. My family and friends are just extremely bad at games.

Why is a ghost playing video games with that guy?

mr_burrito · 3 months

As a devout screen-peeker, I always say it's not cheating, because everyone can do it so no one gets an unfair advantage. Not my fault if you're too proud. It's just part of the game.

My friend and I would always have the honor system.

He would honorably park his scorpion tank in the corner of blood gulch and honorably watch my screen to pick me off from the other side claiming "He had good eyes" because "He ate carrots".

Then I honorably figured out the ghost could stun lock scorpions, and if the trigger was pumped, would be insanely accurate.

Then he honorably would quit midway after I honorably headshotted him for camping teleporters with the rockets.

We used 2 tvs, a co-ax splitter, and had heavy poster board on opposite halves of the tvs. Those TVs were basically dedicated to the goldeneye machine.

unrequitedfucks · 3 months

Only a sore ass loser would go to such lengths. As far as I'm concerned when playing splitscreen, everyone has a "screen cheating" advantage anyway.
