How many people here use their DC/N64 with 4 players more than 2?
Why is this such a downside to the Sony machines? You have to buy a tap to have 4 players? Personally, I haven't played a 4 player game since Micro Machines on the Megadrive.
Let's dispel this for once and for all.
Firstly, how about the fact that you could have 2 multitaps and have 8 player games? How cool would it be to have a footy game where almost every player is human controlled? You couldnt have that on a DC/N64, could you!
"Oh, but they are so expensive!" you cry.
Actually, it's cheaper to play 4 player on a PS1/2 than either of the other machines.
4 PS2 pads are £80, and the tap is £20. Total: £100.
4 DC pads are £80, 4 rumble packs are £36. Total: £116.
4 N64 pads are £92, 4 rumble packs are £36. Total: £128.
(all prices are from SR)
This has never been an issue for PS1/2 owners. People who want 4 player can get it. The only people that bring this up are Nintys and Segats (whatever they are called). It's just a shame they are in fact, losing on this one.
Any more arguments anyone else would like to prove wrong while we are here?
