MAME Games with multiple spinners
erictrumpet:
Nope, Puzz Loop has a 2 player mode with split screen. It's fun - if you have a second spinner lying around, I think it's worth sticking it in a CP for that game. And Blasteroids is fun too - especially 2 player. Also, I never found that crappy and cumbersome MAWS search engine of any value whatsoever, maybe I am just using it wrong.

DaveMMR:
Warlords (4 spinners).
Off the Wall (has Joystick option however).
Forgotten Worlds (RayB mentioned but to add to that, they double as "fire" so you'd need two "push/pull" or just "push" spinners).
Super Sprint and similar that control with 360 wheels.
Honestly, very few games so unless you have an absolute favorite (like Eric pointed out), it's not a necessity to have more that one spinner.

Probably want to try a few variables to see all possible choices. IE simultaneous players, players, alternating etc.

Thanks for the pointer. I checked out MAWS and was able to look up dial and paddle games that have multiple simultaneous users. What I can't figure out how to search for is if there are any that use multiple spinners for a single player (or multiple players where each player has multiple spinners). Anybody know of any games like that?
Thanks again!

I'm not sure if MAWS can do that. NOP may be along to suggest Romlister though. I haven't used it so I can't say if it can do that. I think using MAWS, along with KLOV, will be able to at least move you in the right direction.
For example, Ivan Stewarts can have 3 players at one time on three different spinners (wheels) and Warlords is 4. MAWS shows each as 3P sim and 4P sim respectively. Others will show as 2P alt. Not sure a better way to show it though. :dunno

Etch-a-Sketch: The Arcade Game ;D
Seriously, I personally haven't heard of or seen any "2 spinner per player" games, and if there are any at all I'd be interested in seeing it.
