Danny, you should try WING COMMANDER. If you think the sound from Their
Finest Hour is great, the sound from WING COMMANDER will knock your socks
off.   :-). The music runs throughout the game and pace changes with pace
of game.

As for joystick, I use a "made in China" -- SuperShot joystick. Paid about
US$12 for it.  Suprisingly, it handles a lot better than all other sticks
I tried, including the Yoke (sp ??). Both buttons one the stick; very
easy for single hand operation. The other hand can work the keyboard for
more game control.
