Whne I built my vertical cab, I couldn't find a game I wanted to play that used more than two.

Yeah, I looked it up too and you're absolutely right that it used 2 sticks. (I played this all the time as a kid, but when I played it in MAME w/ 3 buttons it felt just as natural, although I still suck at it!)

Controls.dat is supposed to be 100% accurate and verified data only too.  That is really interesting that it got slipped in there.  Personally, I'm happy that it's wrong, as otherwise I would not have had it come up in my query and wouldn't have it on my machine right now.

Now I wonder how many other games like that could be played with 3 buttons instead of 2 sticks?

anyway, horse, flogged.

Sometimes there is more than one right answer.  I'll bet money down that it did both ways, either with a dipswitch, or parent vs clone/bootleg.  (think 1000 miles rally or cabal)

One of the limits of control.dat is it is mame.  Mame is saying tutankhm has 4 way sicks, one for player 1 and a second for cocktail, and three buttons per stick.  But that pic looks like a dual stick with three buttons (two yellow, one black)?  Anybody have a better pic, or best, pics of both CPs (if I'm right).

TOK:
Its the one and two player start button and Flash, or whatever Tutankham called the "smart bomb" button.
