2 players, 2 screens, 2 controllers, 1 computer

So I now have a nice setup, large desk, 2 monitors on Ergotron arms (allow them to be positioned and rotated almost anywhere, including back to back) and a powerful computer.

I would like to find some games that could be played by 2 people each getting their own screen, using one computer. Assuming I would then have 2 keyboards and mice or 2 controllers.

Any type of game including classic arcade games would be fun. Are there any games out there that support this? Is there any other way to do this?

Huh, I never considered the possibility of multi-monitor gaming for more than one person at a time. I don't know if it exists, but I'm interested.

Don't think its possible, but I'm not 100% sure.

Check out the Serious Sam games. Serious Sam HD: SE is on sale for ten bucks, and the original allowed you to play split-screen on one keyboard, so you may be able to rig something up with a bit of remapping.

Although, not sure how you would get your computer to handle 2 mice differently. Gamepads would work

I know that the original L4D would let you do that.
