Hi Jack,
You can find Gameport to USB adapters at your local Mall,
or some people install a cheap soundcard with a Gameport
however I don't recommend either of those methods.
First you're not guaranteed that the game controller will be
detected and function properly. Force feedback support
of course is not possible when using a converter.
Lastly, it only costs a few dollars more for a USB controller.
The hassle and fuss just isn't worth it to try and hang on to
the old stick. That's just my opinion, the choice is yours. :-)
