I want to get some recommendations on hardware (controllers) and games. Here’s my lunch time idea. Right now I got a high power 1080p projector that we watch movies on every night. Let’s say I got 8 players and a run of the mill computer. It does have a midrange nvidia card and AMD processor but let’s ignore that. What simple family games could we all play together on the same screen. For example sometimes we hookup the Nintendo (will never buy a thing from them due to being an asshole company now) and we play smash brothers or some of the various racing games. I would like to stay on Linux and see what options there are for a single screen multiplayer fun game, and what controllers from Amazon… Hopefully cheap…are available.
I can’t think of a single game other than maybe Monopoly or Worms or something else where only 1 controller is used snd just passed around in a turn-based game that would even support more than 4 people playing at once with a single machine.
Most games only support up to 4 players in split screen, and most of those wre going to be older cuz modern games tend to not have splitscreen multiplayer at all.
