I second that, I have never, ever needed two 4-way sticks.  I didn't even realize that there were any 4-way game with simultanious play. 

Beating a dead horse.... that spinner will hurt real bad.  Have a first aid kit handy!  :hissy:

Lets see here...

There aren't many, but off the top of my head:

Karate Champ used dual 4 ways for single player and you need four 4 ways to play against each other

Namco Classics allows you to play simultaneous Dig Dug, Pacman, and a couple others. The problem is these classics have been "updated"

Lastly, you can configure mame to have 1 4 way handle player 1 and the other 4 way to handle player 2.

With that being said, I have a dedicated 4 way machine with just 1 joystick on it. Seems to not confuse people so much.

Thanks folks.  I guess the main game I am thinking about is Bubble Bobble. My kids love this game!  I also think Bomberman has 2 player, too.  I'm still undecided.   I like the idea of having a dedicated machine, its that I haven't even finished one yet, so I can't assume I can build 2.  That could take years!   ;)

And i'll definately move that spinner away from the track ball.  Spinner is for Tempest and Arkanoid and the trackball is for centipede, missle command, crystal castles and marble madness! 
Alcathiax:
I have the Mag-Stik Plus on a test single player CP. The throw is pretty darn short. I love the ability to switch between 4way and 8way though. I haven't had any problems playing 4 or 8 way games on it...my problem is just with the feel of it (as I don't remember any arcade game with this short of a throw).
