Snes was 6 buttons There were 4 on face and 2 shoulder buttons :)

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...

Exactly! I'm thinking of 7 or 8 in two rows. I might not use them all but if I need them then they are there!

thanks

Why stop at 7 or 8?
