One of the first things I saw Linux do was utilize two mouses with two separate mouse pointers (serial and ps2 at the time), I was a young teenager and it blew my mind and I was installing Linux at home by the end of the month.

The linux port of world of goo supported multiplayer via two mice. It was a bit of an involved setup(special udev rules if I remember correctly) but I thought it neat they took the time to make it happen.

update: I looked it up. you had to change the game config and change permissions on the mouse device. so not that bad considering.

Windows 95 could do that, maybe even DOS (less sure about that though).

With two separate cursors on screen? I don't think so.
