The NES Four Score is an accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System created by Nintendo. It allows four-player gameplay on games that supported it. The Four Score was released in 1990.
Prior to the release of the Four Score, games featuring support for more than two players had players alternate turns using the same set of NES controllers. Other games that originally featured support for more than two players decreased the number of simultaneous players to two.
On the Four Score, there is an option to switch between two-player and four-player modes and turbo A and B buttons that give any of the connected controllers a turbo boost. The Four Score can also be used as a controller extension cable because the wire which leads from the accessory to the NES is several feet in length.
The Four Score is similar to the earlier NES Satellite, a device that allowed four players to connect to the NES with infrared wireless communication.

Famous quotes containing the word score:
“Women who are either indisputably beautiful, or indisputably ugly, are best flattered upon the score of their understandings; but those who are in a state of mediocrity are best flattered upon their beauty, or at least their graces: for every woman who is not absolutely ugly, thinks herself handsome.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
