Title: found a good gameport to USB adapter
Post by: deadpool18 on July 01, 2008, 11:42:05 am

A couple of months ago I picked up an old Top Gun flight stick at a thrift store.  Unfortunately, it was gameport and not USB.  I actually really liked the build quality and feel of it compared to my Microsoft Sidewinder 2 flightstick (used for Afterburner, Star Wars Arcade, Thunderblade, etc.) so I set out looking for an adapter.

I found this one on ebay really cheap:

Anyhow, it works great!  Totally recommended.
