I would to play a CO-OP game, like a zombie game, a minecraft like game, a run and gun game, or a game like besieger NOT "besiege", something October 22, 2009 era. ( The date windows 7 professional same out.) For two players playing one game on 1 different computers connected by LAN. Nice and simple. I am Using a windows 7 professional computer, 8 gb ram. 500 gb of HDD space. NVIDIA GT 710 Grapics card on both. They are copies of each other. Fresh operating system install right outta the box, exactly the same right down to placement and color of each screw. No updates, I'm tired of problems with anything involving windows updates. Game updates are fine. Any suggestions? For more detailed description of what i am looking for: Looking for something that has a button that connects LAN to LAN, preferably offline. Something WITHOUT a 4,700 page install guide, 96 years of troubleshooting and error fixers, Rewrite the program from core to build multiplayer, then make a online account, fill out a blood type questionnaire, and a software and / or hardware maze just to connect LAN to LAN and play multiplayer using blunt force trauma to computer with sledgehammers and / or flamethowers. Something that does not require a newer graphics card as it does not have to be a pretty game. (just better than 8 / 16 bit color.) Games that require a 800 watt PSU, or any game that requires webcam. No sports games. Like basketball, baseball, football. Etc. If any suggestion conflicts with anything numbered, please do not suggest that game. I like plug and play. Thank you all for reading this and I hope that such a game exists. (edited to include co-op, just to be clear.)

Have you ever played a game called Unreal Tournament?

Sure enough. I found them in my Steam library; they are right after the Quake games.

Thanks for your replies, but I was talking about cooperative video games. In these, players play with each other without needing an internet connection. (No internet is actually very preferred.)

With UT, you can do some co-op stuff. You set up a "server" on one PC, but then you play against other players using the same machine too. USAFRet, I am remembering this correctly, isn't it? That is what I remember doing back in the day with me and some of my buddies from far away places. Back then, internet wasn't needed.

Yeah. One main server for everyone else's computers to talk to. You don't need any internet connection at all. I remember seeing that you could even make your own computer programs act like robots. People can team up against those fake guys, or they can fight each other while the bots watch from behind.

You and a buddy can use Unreal Tournament or Quake III to make some really good fun with bots. Just make sure they all line up on the same team, then let them play it out against each other.
