One computer, two people

[flibberdipper]

Alright, so my sister's computer is a turd when it comes to Minecraft. I was wondering if there was some way that I could have two people use my computer at the same time, so that we can both play. Any FREE software that will let me do this?

I'm baaaaack. There's some softwares that let you run multiple copies of a game and play it. Only one I know of is Joypad.

And his only good one is Athena. The others run XP and lower. His laptop is dying and only has an Atom... HELIOS is literally running Windows 98. Like 90% sure they'd be on par or worse than his sisters laptop...

Yes.

None are really good enough to play Minecraft.

I'll have to try that.

 

EDIT: Does not support 1.8.1, @Jade.

What you want is called multiseat and it was recently discussed in this thread.

Basically, what you want is not possible on a Windows host without commercial software. It is, however, possible for free using Xen or KVM on GNU/Linux.
