Overview

The Link Cable joins two original PlayStations through their serial ports, each with its own TV and copy of the game, for full screen two player games.

Only a small number of games use it, Doom, Wipeout, Ridge Racer Revolution and Command & Conquer among them. The PS one and the PS2 don't have the serial port, so it only works between original PlayStations.
