Either a modern game or an old DOS based game that can be played in DOSBox, at least if your controller works in DOSBox.

I guess your going to ignore my last question, I'll find one on my own, but the problem I'm finding with your last statement is in the old Sierra game, when that first little widow that comes up, when you open it,
it gives you the choice of joy stick with new game Sierra completely eliminated it. It does not seem to be about language but eliminating choices.

I am not sure what you are getting at. Your question was:

I do not know of a specific game to recommend, so I only gave a suggestion of what game eras in which to to look. Racing games are not my forte, nor do I have a controller like yours with which to experiment. Older Win32 games are the most problematic. Solving compatibility issues is really hit or miss. Sometimes you have to resort to using a VM with an older version of Windows installed in it. Even this can fail with certain games that rely on parts of DirectX that are not supported in most VMs. In these cases an old dinosaur PC from the same era may be the only solution.

I guess you have given up also, since I'm not getting a response. I disagree that it is not Sierra's fault. They took away the option, at the beginning window, to choose joy stick or not. That takes you to wheel or joy stick option.

Ooop's sorry your web site did not show your response until I posted. Ignore my last post. Thanks for your help.
