Games using 2 multitaps...?

Post by 85cocoa »

*This is not a feature request! I'm just trying to check some facts here.*
In the Super Nintendo Entertainment System article, Wikipedians wrote:Hudson Soft, under license from Nintendo, released the Super Multitap, a multiplayer adaptor for use with its popular series of Bomberman games. It allowed support for up to eight players, although probably the only game to support 8 players is Dino Dini's Soccer.
Does someone have the hardware to confirm whether Dino Dini's Soccer really supports the use of two multitaps for 8 players?

Wikipedia != truth. Always check the facts.

Is the 5th port (6th Player) on a Tribal Tap good for anything?
