Nowadays with the Nintendo 64, Playstation, and Dreamcast offering four player action, multiplay is often taken for granted. Many gamers today really don't know the roots of simultaneously four player control in the early stages beginning with the Atari 2600 and up to the NES.

That's right, the NES - one of the few systems from the 80's to allow up to four player play along with A and B turbo controls to give any connected controller a "turbo boost."

With a flick of a switch you can change the settings to two players and back. The only catch is that few games were compatible. Many NES companies chose to not give in and jump on the multiplayer band wagon. The same companies today realize the service is now a requirement.
