Flight Stick...enough games to justify one?

Hi all.

Do you think that there's enough good games to justify a
flight stick?

And which one should it be for MAME? Just a regular 8-way
or analog? Should it go to the IPAC or USB?

Thunder Blade is a must! ;D

All advice welcome!

The Star Wars games are my favorite (and the theme of my cab actually).  I played Paperboy last night with it.  Love that game too.

Get analog since that is really the only point of a flight stick.  I just hooked mine up last night actually.  I used Dave's AKI board.  It couldn't have been easier.  You wire the stick to his board and then plug his board into your USB hub.  XP auto detects it and you are then ready to rock.

I didn't even have to do any config changes or anything.  I just hooked it up and fired up Sar Wars and was instantly blasting Tie Fighters.   Then after blowing up the Death Star a few times I played a little Paperboy.  Worked fine there as well.   ;D

Here is the stick I use (the one from the Star Wars Trilogy arcade): http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/95006500.htm
