Setup was always such a time consuming pain. Just tonight I tried to co-op a retro game which still went bad despite two (modern) source ports and hours of tweaking.

Steam can help--for a price.

Back in the day the first LANs I attended also took hours of preparation in the school AV lab. Still, being in person was interesting.

Consoles with split screen make it so much easier.
