There was no i-Link cable for the PSx ;)

Clazon, I can see your point and I do think it's a shame that developers never sorted this out, I know you also need a bit of space for two TVs but hey who cares what the parents/gf/misses thinks :D

I dont know of any new games that have this ability. I can remember playing the original Duke Nukem on the PS1 using the I-Link cable. Jolly good fun too!

thanks for replying, but there arent any games for it as i too found, so this thread is now pointless. i think developers didnt develop because

A) it requires quite a few items (although surely this is a plus, because it forces people to buy the product???)

B) the prospect of internet gaming was always on the horizon and experts believed sony and xbox were slow in releasing the necessary equipment. (the telephone companies have been slow to react to this need)

Just spotted this while looking for something completely different.

You'll need

2 x TVs

2 x PS2's

2 x same game

1 x i-link cable

I can't think of any games that are available apart from GT3. GT Concept maybe compatible, not sure. Shame really that the developers haven't made much more of this :(
