All 5 or more button games?

[Crayola]

I am planning a 4 button per player multicade.. I can fit
button 5 and 6, but I think I'd rather have a spinner instead.

Is there a simple way to determine all the games that require 5 or more buttons?
I want to see what I am going to be missing before I commit to a spinner.

Thanks,
Crayola

Deluxe Search,  left column pick buttons,  set to 5,  then 6,  etc.

Takes maybe 15 minutes tops.  Probably less.

You can also search it by choosing Spinner as the input,  and see what you'll be missing there too.

Speaking of this.  I want to get a list of games that use 1 or 2 buttons so my soon to be 6 year old can play games that are easy to control.

Yup, did it last night.  Turns out my 6 year old is lacking some patience.  Every time he plays a game, he gets frusterated after about 2 minutes.  Of course, with coin based arcade games, the makers had to make it so you had to stuff a quarter in every 2 minutes in order to make it profitable.  Not good for my 6 year old.  Myabe a new thread for games for 6 year olds.

Why don't you play a coop game with him, or show him how to survive a little longer?

There have been a few threads over the past couple of years with games for younger children.
