Talk:NES Four Score

message: Anticipation, Championship Bowling, Nobunaga's Ambition II, and Monopoly (video game) do not make use of the four player adapters and use a maximum of two controllers. Only Super Jeopardy! makes use of the adapters, the other three in the Jeopardy! series use a maximum of two controllers. Using the adapters with Bomberman II adds only one additional player, not two more. The NES versions of Micro Machines and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game do not allow for more than two players despite versions with 4—8 players on other systems. Finally, the Micro Machines and Anticipation links were sloppy. I hate being wrong so please correct me if I am.

NES Monopoly does support the Four-Score.

message: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game was released well after the availability of the NES Four Score adapter and several other games that made use of the NES Four Score. And the arcade game that it was based on was 4 players. Therefor it is notable that this game did not make use of the NES Four Score. If someone has a legitimate reason why TMNT II should not be in this section please say so when removing it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zerothis (talk • contribs) 02:21, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The NES has a 8-sprite per scanline limitation, each turtle is several sprites wide. No 4-player arcade-style beat-em-ups were ever released for this system because the flicker issues would be intolerable. Rahga (talk) 22:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I suggest that the list of NES games that are compatible with this device, and the list of non-compatible more-than-two player simultaneous games be both split to List of NES Satellite and NES Four Score compatible games, as the compatibility list duplicates content on the other article. 76.66.198.128 (talk) 11:41, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Split

message: Nothing too much to say here, really. If we've merged the Famicom with the Nintendo Entertainment System, it's only logical that we should merge the Famicom's 4-player attachment with the NES', especially since both are stubs anyway. Emmy Altava 07:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: They're two separate devices made by two different companies, with completely incompatible wire protocols. It's not like the NES, which can play Famicom games through the NES-JOINT adapter found in some NES launch titles. As I read the list today, V'Ball and Super Dodge Ball are the only games that were released in both regions. Nintendo World Cup was released in Japan but doesn't support the FC 4-player adapter. --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 13:13, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: I was thinking of editing the NES Satellite page to point its list of compatible games to this article, but for some reason Rock 'n Ball is listed there, not here. I was under the impression that they used the same protocol. Is there a quirk of the Satellite that makes Rock 'n Ball require it and not the Four Score? --Damian Yerrick (talk | stalk) 13:07, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

message: I disassembled a Four Score unit and saw "Hori" was inscribed on the circuit board. "Nintendo" not written on board. Also checked an NES 2 (dogbone) controller and it does have "Nintendo" on the board. At the very least Hori was involved in its development, perhaps exclusively?
