Don't know why this makes me think about Vanilla Sky (the one with Tom Cruise), where he used
his two hands to grab, discard, move objects...

It made me think of John Woo, actually. He gets to a computer, puts away his gun, picks up the
mouse, puts away his other gun, picks up the other mouse, and starts browsing the web really
quickly, clicking links with both hands.

It made me think of playing Lemmings on Amiga in 90s. Two people could play against each other
on one screen, each having its own mouse. Well, actually is is even possible to play it in
WinUAE in windows XP so XP in fact does have this feature.

There was also a tank game called Firepower!

It had a vertically split screen, which gave each player 160x200 pixels to work with.  But it
was fun.
