Related: Archipelago (https://archipelago.gg/), a framework that randomizes multiple games, across multiple clients. For example, Player A is playing Mario 64, and Player B is playing Pokemon Red. Some items from Player B's Pokemon Red (such as the Rock Smash HM) would be in Player A's Mario 64 world (for example, from collecting a Star). As a result, the two players need to coordinate and help each other progress.
