What makes a two-player game
Every game on this page lets two people play together on the same device — one on the arrow keys and one on WASD, or taking turns with the mouse. That is a different thing from online multiplayer with strangers, which lives under io games; here the other player is in the room. The hub combines the provider's two-player genre with the fighting, battle, chess and checkers games that are two-player by nature.
The genres inside it are wide: brawlers, racing split-screens, football, tank duels, classic board games. If you want a specific sport for two, the sports games hub marks its two-player titles as well.
Playing on one keyboard or one phone
On a desktop, two-player games map each side to one half of the keyboard and explain it on the start screen; make sure no key is shared between the two sets, which a few older titles do. On a tablet the turn-based and board games are the comfortable ones, with the screen flat between you; real-time duels on a single touch screen are possible but cramped.
There is no matchmaking and no account: open the page, pick the two-player mode, play.
Can two people play on one computer?

Yes — that is the definition of this page. Each player uses a different part of the keyboard (typically arrows versus WASD) or takes turns with the mouse; the key layout is shown on the game's start screen.
Are these games online multiplayer too?

Some are, but the page is selected for local play on one screen. Games built around many online players at once are listed under io games instead.
