The games are at websites and you play them on the website while you are on the websites.

Again, all I want to know is if a USB joystick will bypass their keyboard instructions so I can use the joystick while playing online?
In that case, use the "contact us" link for the website and ask them to provide compatibility standards. They will be the experts on what their software supports.
Those are old sites, doesn't look like much action on them.
Good news though. I bought an Retron 77 atari unit. It plays all the 2600 cartridges. I bought it with 80 used game cartriges at a game store. All the major games I wanted to work did. I now have the Atari Berzerk, not the arcade though. I also have Donkey Kong, Defender, Missile Command, Pack Man, Ms Pack Man, Frogger, and a couple of others out of that 80 I didn't know of, but space alien type shooting games, that I do like. And while the manufacture game console came with a modern joystick, the store gave me a classic real joystick from the 1980s, and that is far more durable. I am really a happy camper right now. The console with the 80 games was $325 plus tax.
