For months I have been Jonesing to play the 80s arcade version of Berzerk and Galaga, but I have been looking into consoles and cartridges and tv compatibility, and if I can get one game I cannot get it with this or that, and with SD cards even that is a pain in the ass to transfer it to a console. Trust me I have been doing my research for almost 3 weeks now. But I could save a shitload of money if I can buy a USB joystick and get it to work with the free online versions.


Admittedly a 90s and not an 80s game, but my Logitech USB stick works fine with Red Baron II 3D on Steam, down to the additional buttons accepting assignable functions. It also worked fine with the original 90s CD-ROM version I had before it (CD, not the joystick) went bad. The Logitech 'stick is good.

IIRC Berserk was a two-stick game, one to aim and shoot, the other to move. Does the conversion software accommodate this?
