So im MAMEing this cocktail cab, probably going to keep it to fairly simple flippable cocktail style games, frogger, space invaders, pacman, lunar lander, Tetris, that kinda thing. Anything that only needs a one 4 four-way joystick and 2 or 3 buttons.
I was wondering to save space do I really need 3 buttons? Im trying to think of a game that needs 3 instead of 2?
Im not going to put track n field on it, or bank Panic, I have those on my mame full size cab.
Anything else I would really want on a cocktail cab that needs 3?

Check MAWS. Select 4-way with 3 buttons, and see what comes up.

Nope.... there aren't any 4 way games that use 3 buttons. If there is one, it's so rare and obscure I've never heard of it and thus you probably won't want to play it anyway.

Button 3 = both buttons pressed simultaneously ;)

Tutankham or was that dual stick?

Games with 4-way joysticks & 3 buttons From MAWS deluxe search (as Haruman suggested)
No deal-breakers in my mind.

I didn't know Punch-Out was a 4-way. Makes sense, now that I think about it.
-
Apart from that one i've never heard of any of em!
Thanks guys I think 2 is going to be fine

Tutankham is actually 2 sticks and 1 button. The right stick is only 2 way, to fire left and right. The button is for "flash" to kill everything on the screen. Of course, it could be done with 3 buttons instead of a 2nd joystick.
