Ok....If no one confirms this..I'm going to search for a copy of this game over the Weekend....or I'll buy one off Ebay..Originally Posted by digitalpress
I'm gonna need proof that this is "link compatible". I have the game listed as multi-tap compatible (4 players on ONE screen). Can anyone confirm?
I'm going to look for Bushido Blade too...
I'll keep working on this...and keep you updated...
I went to 5 different Video Games stores today including Funcoland.
None of them had Bushido Blade..or Formula 1 98/99 ..
But I saw Bushido Blade 2..
It has the Link Cable icon displayed on its packaging.(link cable two consoles)
I should have Bushido Blade/2..and Formula 1 98/99 soon..
I still have the rest of the weekend..I won't stop to I find them..I gotta make some calls.
I would of bought Bushido Blade 2 tonight but it had a"ridiculously" high priced tag on it..
I'll find that one two for much cheaper...Crazy..
Curious. Ever get to the bottom of this?Yeah, I'm wondering about this one, too. If nobody has the answers, I'll have to buy a second copy and find out myself.You can link Pro Pinball??? What on earth does that do? Is there a double ended one on one table or something?
If it were a table with a scrolling field, it might be cool if you could stack two TVs to get the whole picture, but the Pro Pinball series gives you a full table view.

Can anyone explain what Command and Conquer Red Alert is like when playing with someone?
That compat list's so incomplete. For example, I'm so certain that Quake 2 had it as well, for starters. And it was noted as such in the case and manual.

Er, uhh, probably not. http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71889Curious. Ever get to the bottom of this?
But of course. I should say, has anyone present ever gotten to the bottom of this?

Okay, just wasn't quite sure who you were addressing that question to. I wanted to make sure you weren't out of the loop or something. ;-)
BTW, there was an early game (either racing or flight sim....I think racing ..or maybe combat) that was NOT marked as Link but there was a trick to do to get it link capable! I was going to post a message asking if anyone can remember it, but then I found this post.
Command & Conquer in Link Mode (and Dune 2000 is Linkable as well) was awesome. It is just like playing C&C on two networked PCs. Yo ucan play with Comp players and 2 people at the same time as well. A friend and I used to play C&C for hours this way before either of us got PCs.
Some others missing (that I own):
Dune 2000
Blast Radius (VERY fun linked!)
Formula 1 '98 (not sure if you meant 98)
Also, a interesting bit of info. Motor Toon Grand Prix 1 AND 2 are linkable. The US version is actually MTGP 2. In the Jap versions, an extra "link only" disk was included so that you did not need two copies of the game. In the game, the better you do, the more Linkable games become available. One of them is a Battleship game where each person sees his own "ocean" and shoots at the other guys. Very fun game even on its own.
We used to have this on the go in my mate's garage many years ago. Double garage with a pool table, fridge full of Stellas, a couple of old sofas, two 14" tellys and two Playstations with (amongst others) C&C:RA. Trouble is link cable support uses a huge amount of the PSX's CPU. So by the time you've built a half decent army the game starts to chug, and slows to about 10 frames a minute. Really. Unless you're happy with armies of 10 vehicles and a few men each, it's not too great.
Only time I really had any problem with C&C is when the PC army would box itself in. Then the game would lag big time untill we attacked the Comp army and brok eup the traffic jam. Other than that, it was very playable I thought. And we played it a lot
