"I had been thinking about a
PIC solution: read bits from input latch, remap, write bits to output latch.

I sent mail out to the pic list and got feedback that yea its doable but not
simple."

If that's the case, you're using the wrong microcontroller. At the switching
times of a pushbutton, doing this with a microcontroller should be easy. Was
the issue programming the switch routing for different games? Or, was the
problem trying to get this into a single chip? Separate chips for the inputs
and outputs make allocation of pins on the microcontroller easier, and for
the volume you're talking about (<100 boards ever?) who cares if it costs
a couple bucks more.
