Aaah those times… Were you an over/under, or a side-by-side player?

Side by side, but let’s be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.

Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.

The Four Way Split was glorious chaos, and only the craftiest screenpeeker survived. You learned psychological warfare, trying to make everyone second guess which section was theirs.

Over/under should give you a wider field of vision, unless it’s some bullshit like COD Cold War where my gf and I go to shoot zombies together and it puts black bars around 20% of the screen and makes it feel cramped on a 70” tv.

Lego split screen did it well. side by side but if you move to some areas and other player does other things the vertical line starts to tilt and go horizontal, especially as you merge screens for co-op tasks

Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I’ll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)
