  Multitap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A multitap is a video game console peripheral that expands the number of controller ports available to the player, thus allowing additional controllers to be used in play.
A multitap often takes the form of a box with three or more controller ports which is then connected to a spare port on the console itself.
Later, multitaps were released by Sega for the Saturn, NEC for the PC Engine and Sony for its PlayStation and PlayStation 2 consoles.

 Multitap   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The multitap for the PS2 is extremly cool looking, and very useful for the games.
The only negative aspect about it is that the cord, which attaches the Multitap to the PS2, is only 3 inches long.
This is ok if you use your PS2 in the horizontal position, but if you use it in the vertical position then the cord is not long enough for the Multitap to lay flat on the floor, which leaves it hanging from the PS2.

The PS2 MultiTap appears to be completely functional and works on all of the four player games that we tested it on.

 Sony Playstation 2 Multitap Reviews
My one other complaint is that if I plug in the multitap to play a game with mutliplayer options, then switch to a game that does not, I have to unplug the multitap and plug just the controller back into the PS2 in order for that second game to recognize the controller.
The cord that connects the multitap to the PS2 is very short, not even a foot long, so if your PS2 is on some table and you dont have space to place your multitap then you might have a problem.
If it were a little longer, I could place the multitap neatly on top of my PS2 or neatly on the side of it, etc. but it's so short, it has to just dangle there.

When I bought the multitap, I must admit it was VERY expensive (as much as many good games).

Many of these devices were modelled after earlier add-ons for the NES: the Super Scope was a light gun similar to the NES Zapper (though the Super Scope featured wireless capabilities) and the Super Advantage was an arcade-style joystick with adjustable turbo settings akin to the NES Advantage.
Nintendo also released the SNES Mouse in conjunction with its Mario Paint title, and Hudson Soft, under license from Nintendo, released the Super Multitap, a multiplayer adaptor that allowed games to support up to eight players.
One of the most interesting and successful first-party peripherals released for the SNES was the Super Game Boy, an adaptor cartridge allowing games designed for Nintendo's portable Game Boy system to be played on the SNES.

All of the multiplayer games are going to support more than two people and let's face it, it's a hell of lot more fun to play against 3 other people than just one.

 IGN Boards - multitap and the new ps2
I recently bought the new ps2 from my local wal-mart with the intent of playing 4 player split screen with my friends on ATV Offroad Fury 3 after my original ps2 quit working.
My hopes of owning my friends at one of my favorite games quickly fell when I found that my multitap for my original ps2 was NOT compatible with my new ps2.
This seemes like a very stupid decision by the sony team to not have the original multitap compatible with the new ps2.

Simulating a multitap delay is one of my absolute favorites, and really can add to the overall feel of the mix.
Although this is not a 'true' multitap delay, it does give much the same feel if done properly.
If you're lucky enough to have a multitap delay, which allows you to set each tap to a different time, then try adjusting each one +/- around 10 MS.

If you want to be able to spend some time having fun with your kids doing something that they really enjoy, get this Multitap, a game that the whole family can play together and enough controllers for everyone.
The multitap is great, it hooks into one memory card slot and a controller slot, and lets you have 4 extra players playing, and if you get a second one, you can have up to eight!
This however means you have to buy extra controllers, but the fact that the Psone controllers are compatible comes in handy.
