The Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gear can play multiplayer games with other Atari Lynx and Sega Game Gears via link cable / wireless?

Dreamcast (Online/Link Cable)

There are still ways to go online with the Dreamcast, and it did have a link cable but with very few compatible games.

PS2 can handle LAN games (although I think only a handful of games support it), and I know Gran Turismo 3 supported up to six players each on their own console using Firewire cables and a hub.

Xbox also supports LAN games.

Thanks everyone. How should I organize this list?

By company
Alphabetically
Console release date
Online only, LAN only, Online + LAN, etc.

Perhaps put it all in a Google Sheet that allows sorting and filtering?

Yep. It’s one of the reasons it was named the Lynx.

Continuing from that...

Where it was an online service it'd be good to include if this can still be accessed in some way.
