Also, Aven Colony is $10 new at Gamestop (thanks Bear for the heads up). --- End quote --- I am surprised that "The Little Nightmares" got another physical releases so soon with the extra DLC. |

Yes one can play single player with 6 screens. If I remember correctly the screens go front view, 2 side views, back view, and last 2 screens were either 2 data screens, or data and highlights of other drivers (can't remember which). The Gran Turismo Tokyo-Geneva has the same if I have understood correctly. --- End quote --- I never knew about this. That sounds awesome. Any chance that one of the extra screens you weren't sure about would be the "replay view?" Why do they have to be fat PS2s? There was a time that I had at least 6 PS2, but 4 of them were slims. --- End quote --- Replay or highlights screen is possibility. And only the old Phat ones have the Firewire port needed for linking the consoles. Ethernet was not supported in these games as it was not out yet. --- End quote --- Form a little research, I'm only finding as many as 3 screens for single player. I've found six screen options, but it's for LAN multi player racing. In this setup, one screen can be used for viewing the race if you have fewer than 6 players. It looks like GT4 has the same option but uses the Ethernet connections which makes it compatible with all PS2s (as long as the fat models have network adapters). --- End quote --- OK, I might then understood wrong. I'll check the manuals if I come by them while re-arraging storage stuff. |

For this I have all reguired things. 2: 16 Gamecubes with Game Boy Players linked together to play 16 player GB Faceball. For this still require few cables and 8 Gamecubes with Game Boy Players. ---------------------------- Adding to these few ones that I have hardware and software: 3: Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles 4 player game using 5 Gamecubes. 4: Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (NGC version) 4 player game using 5 Gamecubes. 5: Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (GBA version) 4 player game using 4 Gamecubes. 6: Pacman VS 4 player game using 4 Gamecubes. 7: GBA Mario Kart or f-Zero 4 player game using 4 Gamecubes. |

Alabama --- End quote --- That's because there is no such thing. It's just a generic computer cable. |
