Funny how I'm an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.
At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).
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.
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)
