Alright, I'm looking to design my own control panel for a arcade cabinet. I'd like this to be compatible for as many games as possible. This leads me to two questions.

1) What games allow two simultaneous players that both need two sticks?

2) Do any trackball games actually need more than one button?

REALLY need to go over to www.arcadecontrols.com and ask this :)

TONS of trackball games require more than one button, but you don't need dedicated buttons for the trackball, it's easy to use player one's buttons.
Missile command alone uses three trackball buttons.

Smash TV uses 2 player's with 2 joysticks each.

You can see my layout there.

Or at least our own Arcade forum!

Smash TV
Karate Champ
Vindicators I/II

There are probably some other 2 player tank-type games that I'm not coming up with.
