Super Power League FX - 8 Players???
« on: September 23, 2008, 10:55:04 AM »
So I have noticed that this game lets you assign up to 8 players.  I was wondering if anyone had any information on if they planned to make a multitap for the FX?  Since this game came out in 1996, earlier into the life of the FX I find it strange there is this option, but no multitap.

AFAIK there were never any plans for a multitap for the PC-FX. NEC's vision for the PC-FX was very different from their vision for the PC Engine and Grafx line.

Yes.  The GMaker technical documentation includes information on detecting and reading from a multitap.

If I am not mistaken it is one of the CDs/programs for FX dev stuff?

Now I need me a multitap for some real Super Power League FX fun!
Any chance you could pass out those plans?  Or is there a website which has them?

Super Power League FX is an awesome game regardless of how many players!  I'm pretty sure I played it the most of all my PCFX games back in the day!!

What makes it so good?  I never really played it.  Just tested MissaFXs copy to make sure it loaded before I sent it.

The audio is engaging.  The graphics are great.  The game is flexable and complex.  It supports up to 8 players (with a homemade multitap)!!!  The Power League series is already good to begin with.  The FX game just improves upon the time tested forumla.  I really thought it would only be so-so, and got it mainly because I want as many big box games as I can have.  But it has turned out to be a really great game.  You should add it to the store sensei.

If other people are interested I am sure I could get another copy for the store.  Just in thre past sports games have been notoriously difficult for me to sell.

But yeah, that really does sound good.  Maybe I need a copy for me...  Hmm....
