There are 1141 games documented on PixelatedArcade supporting Joystick.
Joystick is part of the category Input Devices.
The joystick attribute indicates games which allowed input either solely or partially with the use of a joystick.

Joysticks came in two main varieties, analog or digital. Analog joysticks provided a continuous range of values as the stick was moved so games could determine not only which direction it was being moved but how far. Digital joysticks used discrete values so games perceived the stick as either being pushed a specific direction or not moved at all. Throughout the 80's the majority of IBM and PC compatible computers used analog joysticks. A few PC's, such as Amstrad PC's, used digital joysticks. Outside of the IBM/compatible world, most computer systems (including the Amiga, Commodore 64, Atari ST, and many others) also used digital joysticks.

IBM Game Control Adapter
Unlike many computer systems from the era, the IBM PC and many compatible computers did not include a joystick port built into the system (there were some exceptions including the IBM PCjr or Tandy 1000). This ISA adapter card allowed joysticks to be used with IBM PC, PC/XT, PC/AT and other IBM compatible computers which did not include a joystick port as standard.
