- Some games, such as Gauntlet II, allow four player

- the cable. You need two female 9-pin plugs and
- one 25-pin plug (don't remember if it's male or
- female).
 
The 25-pin plug must be male to connect to the printer port.  The 
9-pin plugs must also be male so the (female) joystick plugs can be 
connected.

(Geez, it's late.  I hope I haven't mistaken what female and male 
plugs look like. :^)

I haven't made one of these adapters, but would like to.  I'm still in
the process of solving the dilemma of connecting my NEC 3D to my STe.
Should be resolved next week when I receive an IB Computers Switchbox.
(Yes, I'm writing this on a TV.  Eeeek!)
