"Gaming" usually means "playing the most recent edition of a 
heavily-advertised game".  At least, that's what it usually maps to on 
most Net forums.

While "Super Mario World" wasn't really multiplayer, wasn't the 
first "Mario Kart" for the SNES 2-player?  All you'd need would be 2 
USB joysticks, snes9express, and you'd be set.  OK, there's the pesky 
issue of whether using the ROMs in that manner would be *legal*, which 
might kill that whole idea.
