The NES Four Score

The NES Four Score is an accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System created by Nintendo. It allows four-player gameplay on games that supported it. The Four Score was released in 1990.

On the Four Score itself, there is an option to switch between two-player and four-player modes and turbo A and B buttons that give any of the connected controllers a turbo boost. The Four Score can also be used as a controller extension cable because the wire which leads from the accessory to the NES is several feet in length.

The Four Score is similar to the earlier NES Satellite, a device that allowed four players to connect to the NES with infrared wireless communication.

[edit] NES Four Score Compatible Games

[edit] Non-compatible games

The following games are notable as having three or more variously alternating or simultaneous players despite not making use of the NES Four Score or NES Satellite. Some are also expected to have three or more simultaneous players because of the existence of the Four Score option coupled with the facts of being released after the Four Score's availability, and one or more of versions of the game for other systems had this feature (i.e. not using the Four Score for four-player games published later seems irrational).
