If you don't mind the hassle of emulators, I'd suggest Little Big Planet on RPCS3.
I think this was the most fun game for 4 people I ever played.

* Rivals of Aether

* Killer Queen

* Duck Game

* Magicka (EDIT: And Magicka 2)

* Overcooked (EDIT: And Overcooked 2)

* Jamestown

* Puyo Puyo Tetris 2

* Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (probably... in a few weeks or so).

River City Girls is only 2-player, but deserves a mention IMO. Most fighting games (Tekken, Street Fighter, BlazBlue, Guilty Gear, DB Fighterz) seem to be available on PC now, and also work as 2-player games.

EDIT: The "Tales of" series (ex: Tales of Symphonia) is a long-running JRPG series with typically 4-player single-screen gameplay. A fair number of the "Tales" games have been released on PC / Steam. In particular, as a full-length JRPG, "Tales of (whatever)" last for many dozens of hours of story and gameplay. So its a weird standout, but definitely an interesting niche for a game. I can't say I've tried the Steam version, but Bandai is pretty good about Steam ports in my experience. Consider the "Tales" series a 4-player rival of the "Final Fantasy" series. You may have to play a bit before all four characters are available (like "Final Fantasy", you meet more and more characters as the game progresses), but the game usually starts with at least 2 playable characters.

Gauntlet Slayer Addition. I have only played local coop 2p with 2p online. But I think 4p local coop is possible...maybe.

There must be something wrong with me. I just for the life of me cannot play games co-op or pvp on split screens like that where each has a different point of view. I find it very distracting. This must take an acquired skill that I've never tried to develop. A while back I played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare on PS3 with a friend and it just drove me crazy, lol.

you have 3 other friends irl??? and here i am just hoping for 1....
