6Player Multitap
Up to 6 people can compete in one game at the same time with this great 6Player adapter. It’s compatible with all Sega Sports multiplayer games for Sega Saturn, and some games even support two 6Players, so as many as 12 people can play at once! It’s guaranteed to draw a crowd. RATING: C – Must have for fans of multiplayer sports games, otherwise it’s not much use.
