I don't know if this guys "Mommy & Daddy" shell out for this stuff, but I 
have a 29" TV in my room, a 21" TV in my room & a 14" Tv in my room, plus an 
N64, a Saturn and a PS, My brother has a PS & an N64, so i could quite easily 
play multiplayer using the link cable, but I dont want to..  It's too much 
hassle, so why bother when I can play Split screen on the 29" and still have 
4 portins of the screen at just over 14" each..!?!
I still need to know how playing split screen is cheating..!
