In Reply to: There is one that uses 9. Mole Attack. posted by Just Michael on 17, 2000 at 12:36 AM:

I was just using SortInfo and it lists Mole Attack as a 1 player 8 button game (+ 1 coin), that is 8 buttons to me (nor counting the coin). I tried KLOV to but no record of "Mole Attack".

The only game I know of with more than 6 buttons worth mentioning is Defender, it uses 7 buttons. But I plan to use buttons from both player 1 and 2 to sort that out (Defender is one player only, and the original CP had buttons all over in the first place so I will use some of the player 1 and some of player 2 buttons when playing Defender).

I also found that 6 buttons per player is optimal if you want to have as less buttons as possible on your CP.

: : I was just wondering what game uses 8 pushbuttons duging game play... i know Streetfighter uses 6 and so does MK. Im making a standalone control panel and im wondering if to use 8 buttons per player or just 6.

: : So far it looks like 6 is winning.

: : But before i draw that out, id like to know if there are games that actualy require 8 pushbuttons for game play per player.

: : Any ideas?

: I don't know of any that use 8.
