Tips & Warnings

Multi-player video games are designated by an emblem on the back of the case. It states the number of players the particular game can support.
Reviews and ads will say "Multitap Compatible."
Plugging a multitap into both of the PlayStation's controller ports will allow up to eight players to compete at once.
