Multi-Player (Multitap) Games on SNES

Do you often fret that these games can only be played by two people at most, especially if you have lots of friends to play with? 

To support more than 2 players on the original SNES, which apparently only has two controller jacks, a peripheral named "Multitap" is required. That's another advantage of the modern emulation consoles, which usally has more than 2 USB ports (The Sonicon SNES Ultimate has 4 and supports up to 5 players)

Today we want to share with you some Multi-Player Games on SNES.  Call your friends to play!
