@vampiress made me do this. I kept the joystick I played the original DOS versions of X-Wing and Tie Fighter with. Here it is. Behold its majesty
It was a sad day when I put all of my old, non USB joysticks and flightsticks in a card board box and gave them away, knowing they were past their prime and would probably never find a good home. I did keep my Commodore 128 joysticks though.
