What Is the Sega Saturn 6 Player Multitap Adapter?
Ever felt short a controller port when pals piled into your living room? Enter the official “6 Player” multitap (model MK‑80102) for the Sega Saturn. It plugs into one of your two controller jacks and adds five extra ports—so you can party with up to six people on supported games. The Sega Saturn wasn't the the only retro console to have a multitap adapter... but how often do you really see it?
When Did It Launch?
North American gamers first saw the 6-Player Port Multitap Adapter in 1995, priced at $49.99 USD upon release Sega Retro. I was 4 when this was released and.. I also don't have more than 5 friends - joke is on Sega!
Games You Can Play with Up to Six Friends!
Here are three Saturn standout titles that really shine when you’ve got a full couch:
-
Bomberman (1996)
The king of party chaos—battle up to six players on one multitap, or go wild with ten folks if you’ve got two adapters Wikipedia. -
Guardian Heroes (1996)
Beyond its branching RPG story, the Versus mode supports six warriors duking it out simultaneously—perfect for impromptu tournaments. -

Fun Facts to Impress Your Crew
-
Seven players with one tap: Plug the adapter into port 1 and the hardware will register a seventh controller in its “port 1,” even though you’ve only got six jacks Sega Retro.
-
Double the madness: Two multitaps theoretically let a dozen people play—though daisy‑chaining isn’t officially supported! Sega Retro

Launch‑day support: Sega mandated that every Saturn developer include multitap code, so a surprising number of titles from sports sims to quizzes will let extra controllers join the fun.
Ready to dust off your Saturn and gather the old gaming crew? Probably not - but it's still a great Collector's piece! Whether you’re planting bombs, trading blows or wrestling in pixel rings, the 6 Player multitap turned Sega’s mid‑’90s console into a true party machine.
