Any spinner games that use more than 2 buttons?

[timekiller]

Hello! I am planning the control panel for a new cabinet build and decided to put spinners on the front that will double as steering wheels. I think I have enough room to put buttons dedicated for use with the spinners. I know Arkanoid needs 1 button to fire lasers. Road Blasters need 2 buttons, one for the gas pedal, one to shoot. For Road Blasters though, I am going to put a pedal on the floor, so I only need 1 button next to the spinner.

Are there any games, driving games included that I would need more than 1 button next to the spinner? what about for player 2?

Thanks.

Why would you add dedicated buttons for the spinners? You can use the ones on the control panel.

Here's one resource that might help you find the answer.

Some driving games had some view and radio buttons, too.

Start with the list of games you are going to play and work from there.
