Maximum buttons for Spinner/Dial games

[LucidLight]

I am planning to user Player 1 and 2 buttons for the trackball games, but I need to know the maximum buttons I need to play all the spinner games. Also do the spinner games use more a right hand or left hand to operate the spinner?

Anyone? Currently I am looking at just 2, is there a game I would need 3 for?

I use my right hand for the spinner, and the left for buttons, but I'm right-handed.

If your trackball and spinner are on the same panel, and you want to play Missile Command, go with three buttons.

Cotmm68050,

Thanks alot! Can't believe I did not figure out how to use MAWS earlier. Looks like Missle Command uses trackball. I was just going to use Player 1 and/or Player 2 buttons for any trackball games. Is there any issue with doing so?

I looked over the 2 lists of games that use 3 and 4 buttons and none are well known enough to prompt me to add anouther.

I will put 2 buttons on each side of the spinner for people who like to play left or right handed.
