How to play 8 player games?

[Rick Dangerous]

Hello everyone. I recently acquired Fred Couples Golf for the 32x, which supports 1-8 player. In the manual it states "team adaptor for players 3-8 sold seperatley."

 

The 1st party multi-tap I have seen for genesis uses both of the consoles plugs, so I'm wondering if anyone knows what type or brand of adaptor is 4 into 1, so that 2 can be hooked up for a total of 8 players.

 

Thanks

Hell if I know. The MK-1654 only uses one cable to connect to the system; maybe two of them?

It's weird, most have two plugs coming out the back, but there are SOME that have only 1. Guess I'll have to look out for two of those. Thanks Rex!

The ones with two cables only use the second cable in pass-through mode to allow for two controllers to pass through from the same multitap. You don't need to use the second cable otherwise. I commonly run my two cable tap with only one cable plugged in.

I tried to play ULTIMATE SOCCER on the Mega Drive with 8 players couple of years ago. I had connected everything as described in the manual, but it didn't work.

NBA JAM is supposed to be another game which should be playable with 8 players. Never saw a prove of that.

 

The only thing which is true as I also tested it, is that MICROMACHINES 2 can be played with 8 players on 4 controllers, but that isn't really fun.
