It would be a null modem cable.
You can make them. Stunt Car Racer uses one for two player with two Amigas. |

It also can be used for linking Amiga and ST, Stunt car racer works that way.

I got mine from Amigakit
http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/...oducts_id=1026 Played stunt car racer vs my brother with it. Don't think gaming gets much better than that. |

And 8 simultaneous players with Super Skidmarks gets quite close too... Four players in Lotus 2 seemed to be popular too, but naah.. not even close to those other two

 I suppose it's good to laugh at the ST player directly.

That's some forethought, they just had to make their serial protocol the same.

The best I know is Lotus II Turbo Challenge with 4 players (2 on each Amiga).
But note that you don't need to link 2 Amigas to have good fun... Dynablaster with 5 players on only ONE Amiga is quite fun... but you need lot of alcohol for the loosers.
