I would like to point out that there is a product call the Arcade Adapter
by Nuvo Labs (805-544-5766) that allows you to use any Atari type joystic
on the Mac. It connect to the mouse port (does not require ADB) It comes
with an arcade quality Pac-Man like game. (I think I paid around $30 for
the whole package - directly from Nuvo)

It's been out a while, but it never seems to have caught on.
