This is a bit of a wacky answer, but there is a product called Goldbrick
from Transfinite Systems which allows you to connect most game controllers
to the ADB port (i.e.--Nintendo controllers, guns, joysticks, the Mattel
Data Glove, etc.).  Depending on the controller, you can have up to 6 or
8 control inputs (I'm working from memory here).  Not only that, but with
the plethora of game controllers, there are generally any number available
at firesale prices (e.g.--a 3-D controller with 8 infrared sensors and two
buttons for $30).  Transfininte is in Cambridge, MA at 617-969-9570.
