4 player games???

[Brijinder Grewal]

I am in the process of designing my mame cabinet, and am wondering what games support 4 players?  I'd like to play NBA Jams and Gauntlet four players, but are there versions that are available that support four players?  What other 4 player games are recommended.  I am trying to deside if I should make a 2 or 4 player cabinet.  Thanks.

Thank you very much, that was exactly what I was looking for.  

[gajaman]

Am I being dense or what? Outrun (and quite a few others listed) are not four players?!

[JustMichael]

Outrun only had 1 steering wheel.  I think it might be a little difficult to have 4 people driving at the same time with the same steering wheel.

[gajaman]

Now that would be co-operative play!!

[hyiu]

one controls the gas... one control the brake... one doing the shifting... and one steer.... is that how they play ??... haa haa....    

[SirPoonga]

Like I said it came from my database, which comes form "mamepp.exe -lisinfo"
Listinfo has been known to not be accurate.

[Lilwolf]

mames listinfo doesn't keep seperate number of players and number of controllers.

thats why I had to add the ability to modify it in JFront... I would have the controls setup for 4player games... then I would have to use the far left joystick on those games that really only have one controller.

kinda a pain
