Default Why are multiple engines different?

ok, I'll take a guess, but it is cheating: Cessna 337 skymaster,
it's a light twin but inline thrust. I remember a NTSB report where
a guy managed to get airborne on one engine (not long, hence the
NTSB report, but airborne nonetheless -- alcohol was involved
if I recall correctly)

but I was thinking in terms of conventional -- i.e., one engine
on each side -- light twin. I don't think you can eeven taxi these
things on one engine...
