Supposedly, Faceball 2000 can support sixteen players. I have heard conflicting reports about how this is supposed to work. The game definitely supports the 4-player adapter, it says so on the box.
I can imagine that you could physically attach multiple 4-player adapters in a daisy-chain layout to physically connect sixteen Game Boys. It would work like this :
In this diagram, the letters are Game Boys, the numbers are 4-player adapters and the lines are link cables. I don't think it is supposed to work like this. Has anyone ever poked around into FB2K's code to get a semblance of how it is supposed to work? Maybe the developers took it out of the published game because it was something that was only supported using in-house development hardware.
