My sister asked me if I have any games we could play on my computer (I'm the only one in my family with a decent computer). A while ago we played Liero together, but that got old fast for her. So basically I need help finding games that can be played on one computer, hopefully platform, and co-op or competitive.
Worms, Little fighter 2, Heroes 3
I believe any of the Lego games have local co-op.
Don't know if that's your thing though.

the trials games do
She is a bit younger so she would probably not be into older games (with the exception of Liero). However I would still like it to be a little arcade like, so worms might be good... I'll keep looking though.
Might be a little beyond her age or wrong genre but with a little editing (check PCGamingWiki) you can make all Borderlands split screen coop.
In racing. I think Distance is split screen. Will have to check. It is a different kind of racing game.
Trine also has local co-op. You'll need some extra peripherals though. Their guide is more for controllers, but it should be helpful enough.
There are a ton of fun local multiplayer games out there on PC.
- BattleBlock Theater
- Castle Crashers
- Beat Hazard
- Audiosurf 1 and 2
- Trine 1 and 2
- Risk of Rain
- Hammerwatch
- Megabyte Punch
- Lethal League
- Octodad: Dadliest Catch
- Speedrunners
- Screencheat
- Portal 2
- Guacamelee
- Crypt of the NecroDancer
- Monaco
- Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet
- Capsized
- Crimzon Clover: World Ignition
- Jamestown
Some more to consider are Ibb and Obb, Starwhal, Nidhogg, Super Puzzle Platformer Deluxe, and Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, but I personally have not played these yet with someone else.
And you could always try to split the controls up for games like like Surgeon Simulator or add multiplayer mods for games if possible, like for Minecraft or Strike Suit Zero or something, (I have no experience with the Strike Suit Zero mod).

There's tons. Anything turn based would work. Civ, Worms, Scorched Earth, Endless Space, Risk etc. There's also standard local co-op games like Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Awesomenauts, Towerfall, Legend of Dungeon, Spelunky... Plenty to choose from. Here, this might help you:

I know this isn't probably what your looking for since it doesn't have to much capabilities other then 1 or 2 person keyboard but Liero is a really fun oldies version on a real time Worms game.
Necro much?
OP mentioned Liero was the game they played originally, makes bringing back such an old thread that much better lol

LOL! This was so old I gave advise to myself! I guess I should check names more. Too funny.
Sonic & All Stars Racing is my go to! So much fun!
Brawlhalla is also super fun
Mercenary Kings
Rayman Origins
Spelunky
^Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssss! Super difficult though as you get further!
Another option is to play certain games by taking turns. Games that work well IMO:
Race the Sun

Oh and anything on a NES or SNES emulator.
Battetoads, Sunset Riders, Super Mario World all come to mind.
