Gaming Local Multilayer PC Games

[juggernaut911]

My friend is looking for a semi-kid friendly game to play with his 7 year old on PC. Must have at least LAN or same computer multi-player.

Please give me some suggestions to pass on to him!

Please and thanks!

 

[Sabregod]

Team Fortress 2 & DoTa

 

[Law]

Audiosurf with Double Vision. One person controls one ship with the keyboard and another can control the other ship with the mouse.

Worms Armageddon. LAN and hotseat play, and probably the best of the 2d worms games (Haven't played the newest 2d Worms yet, don't even think its had a PC release yet though so whatever)

 

[seedvt]

Starcraft.

 

[Originality]

Age of Empires 2
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade (though I don't know if a 7yo will fully appreciate it)
Gruntz (old kids puzzle game - abandonware)
Lords of Magic (abandonware again)
Heroes of Might and Magic (I think 3 is the best, but 5 is shinier - local hotseat)
Worms (any from the series is great, but I loved 2 the most)

There are a lot that I played as a kid... I just wish I could remember them all now.

 

[Satangel]

Rollcage (same PC)
Age of Empires 2

 

[Berthenk]

Hmmm... Jazz Jackrabbit 2...

 

[GentleFist]

little fighters 2

Here are some freebies I like to break out at little LAN parties

GeneRally
Overhead racing game
http://generally.rscsites.org/

Hedgewars
Turn based shooting game like Worms or Scorched Earth
http://www.hedgewars.org/

 

[prowler]

Team Fortress 2

I don't think you should be giving that to a 7 year old

Same computer multiplayer games:

Sumotori (Dreams) http://www.gravitysensation.com/sumotori/

Magebros http://www.saitogames.com/magebros/index.htm
Actionfist http://teknopants.com/games/actionfist/
Uberleben http://teknopants.com/games/uberleben/

Openlierox, bit of blood but i think it can be switched off. Its similar to worms but with better guns and real time

.

Best of all its free and runs on anything!

Some of my favourite games back when I was a kid

Need for Speed: Shift. First non-shooter in awhile that I liked!

worms world party is better

 

[zeromac]

Why has no-one mentioned this yet? I'm going to play this on LAN

GTA San Andreas PC with Multi Theft Auto Mod (awesome online/LAN mod which allows Online/LAN)

 

[Blue Protoman]

Doom.

 

[UltraMagnus]

for on a lan:
open arena

worms world party is better

World Party is buggier and the only real upgrade is two weapons that really shouldn't be in the game.
