what games have lighted player buttons?
menace:
besides Pacman and Ms. pacman, what other games have player 1 and 2 buttons that light up when coins are added?
Thenasty:
I don't think Pacman/Ms.Pac had volcano buttons in a real arcade but I think this feature is in MAME thou.
The ones I remember in the real arcades are:
Asteroids
Asteroids Deluxe
most Atari Arcade Games had volcano buttons.
spidermonkey:
I think he's talking about actual player buttons rather then start buttons. If so then the first games that come to mind would be a few of the Williams games ie. Robotron,Sinistar,Narc also a couple of Gottlieb games ie. Q-bert,Krull and Mad Planets all had backlit translucent player buttons. I'm sure there's more.
FractalWalk:
Robotron didn't have player buttons. The translucents were start buttons.

If youre willing to dig thru the mame source, a list oculd be put together. If you started with one of the games that's known to work- like missile command, tempest, asteroids- you could find the string used.. Its in the same section as the inputs
I started doing this many versions ago, when you had to compile yourself if you wanted no warnings, but I havent touched it in a while
