Not sure what other games, but I imagine there might be a couple. If you squeezed 3 buttons you could do Track n Field, Hyper Sports, BC Story, and Boot camp.

Intersting.. I think I'll try shoving two buttons vertically in the green area to the right of player 2's stick. That way I can play all two player NES games, puzzle bobble, klax.. and other puzzle games my wife might enjoy. Good idea.

I'll be using an LCD which rotates, hopefully via electronic motor when I'm through with this whole thing.
theCoder:
A lot of games require a joystick and 2 buttons. I'd try to find a way to get two more on there. Also, have you considered putting in any pinball buttons on the side?
FunWithFire:
Do you need the 6 buttons for Player 1? Couldn't you do like a staggered 3 to squeeze a little more room for Player 2?
Or you could put the pinball buttons on the side of the CP, and on the Player 2 side, you can have one button stacked on top of the other for the second player to use as their two buttons.

I've not really got into the whole pinmame idea yet. I'm fairly certain I won't be putting buttons on the side of the control panel, as that would mean placing random buttons on the exterior walls of the cab. My goal is to keep the Galaxian cab as "stock" looking as possible minus the new control panel and the LCD technology.

I'm keeping six buttons for Player 1 as I am a fighter fan. I also would like to be able to play as many console systems as possible, so I think I'm fairly happy with Player 1's controls.
I have began to mock up 2 buttons on P2's side, I'll post them shortly.
