Honestly, I wouldn't use over 3. Maybe even go as low as two. The kind of games that I would play on such a setup would be sort of parlor games. Maze games like pac-man and classic vertical shmups. Donkey Kong. When I think of a coffee table I think of a sort of refined atmosphere. Simple games that can be played for high scores in a few minutes. Almost all of those games use one button, a few use two. One joystick, one button, and one spinner? |

I struggle with the same question (minus the snes consideration.) One of my favorite games has me flummoxed... DEFENDER needs five buttons. :hissy: |

Why stop at 7 or 8? Thelma and Louise that bad boy. |
