How to make a joystick?

See the latest issue (July 1991) of _Science Probe!_ magazine.
The Computer Scientist column by William Barden (P.14) covers not only
how to make a joystick, but how to interrogate it from BASIC.  His 
approach also covers how to use th joystick port to provide a cheap
interface for up to 4 analog and 4 digital measurement devices (ie
temperature (thermister), light (photocell), switch).

This is a really nice magazine and is edited by one of the former
contributors to the _Scientific American_ Amateur Scientist column.
