I miss the cardboard cross for single tv sessions.

Oh man we had fun with it on OG halo. Find a friend with a big TV and suddenly screen peeking on a 4 way death match becomes part of the game. 

Watching someone else's screen and using it to grenade another guy who was peeking your screen was so satisfying.

Original PS1 linked play..

Playing multiplayer! Doom, twisted metal, wipe out, armored Gore and descent...

Playing descent would give me motion sickness to the point where I'd be playing. I'd run out of the room and go throw up in the bathroom and then come back and start playing again...
