I've got NFL Blitz 2000 in my cab and play with 2 8-way sticks.  It plays great IMO.

Ah, I totally missed that, nevermind.   :banghead:

It' the PC version of the game.  The mame version may never be playable at the current rate.

Because I wanted to keep that Pac-man-era feel, I kept my control panel to 2-player at a cozy 24" wide.  I did, however want to have drunken Gauntlet brouhahae, so I mounted a few jacks like these:

inconspicuously to the outside of the cabinet.  Now whenever there's a crowd, I just plug in a couple of gamepads and let players 3 & 4 use those.  I put a couple of jacks on each side, so in theory I could have a 6-player X-men smackdown, or keep some of those schweet lightguns plugged in, but I haven't gone there yet.

I recommend that solution.  It's cheap, keeps the cab looking clean, and is inconspicuous.
