Recently I played 007 nightfire, red faction 2 and some football game on four player with some friends and it was excellent, we used a multi-tap (obviously).

So anyway on a bank holiday coming my friends parents are going away and naturally we’re all going round his (8 of us) and we want to play some games, now HERE IS MY QUESTION, is there a way to make PS2 games 8 player with two TVs? Like with a link cable similar to the PSone. And if there is, what games are compatable? Please help! (PS, we have access to two TVs and can get multiple copies of games from blockbuster and have planty of PS2's!)

If you can track down a copy of Micro Machines (PSone) that is a great blast with eight people. Plus you only need one TV. I’m still playing that game to this day, an absolute joy in multi-player.

2 TVs
2 PS2s
2 Multitaps
1 i-Link cable

And you've got 4 players on 1 PS2 and 4 players on another.

Any game that says 'i-link up to 8 (or more) players' will be compatible.
e.g. TimeSplitters 2.
