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

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.
