Multi-Tap PS2

When Nintendo released the N64 in the mid-nineties there were some obvious points that stood out and they weren’t just to do with the power of the machine. What was that on the front of the machine?

The Multitap is an adaptor that allows four controllers to be plugged in at once, so if you have friends over you don't have to take turns. It only works with certain games, but is extremely useful and makes the games a lot more fun. The PS2 multitap is small in comparison with the Playstation Multitap, so it doesn't take up too much room and it is vital if you enjoy multiplayer gaming. ...  Read the complete review
