KIZUNA ENCOUNTER / SUPER TAG BATTLE / SAVAGE REIGN 2
This game not only pioneered the introduction of a tag system for the
fighting game genre, but it also initially tested as a 4 player title.
The released version of the game actually contains the programming code for
this option and can be accessed and viewed with a debug bios chip. However,
without the special dual jamma interface connector board, the functions and
controls for players 3 and 4 cannot be utilized properly. A picture of this
unique board can be seen below.
The DUAL JAMMA interface board allows for the game to be used with 2 players
per monitor for a 4 player simultaneous game, and/or for a 2 player simultaneous
game with each player having their own monitor. (like Atari Cyberball)
Here is a picture of the complete MVS KIT from SNK.
