Finally -- back to games :-).  Obviously, you mustn't have been doing 
something correctly.  The only game I've not been able to get running 
under OS/2 is The Farm, since it uses Win32s version 1.2, and OS/2 
currently supports an earlier version.  I can run Descent, DOOM, Reader 
Rabbit1, Math Rabbit, all Borderbund's Living Books, among others (okay, 
so my kids have more games than I do :-).  OS/2 also supports joysticks; 
however, I don't own one, so I can't really say more on the topic, except 
I wonder if the stick(s) in question above were supported by OS/2.
