: I also can hack arcade pedals, analog arcade joysticks, and Star Wars Yokes (Jude's Example) to the gameport by connecting the center connector of the POT to Pin 1 of a PC joystick cable and the other connector to Pin 3 for X-Axis and Pin 6 for Y-Axis.

If you wired it up this way, you can use an adapter from Radio Shack to use them as USB. (costs about $15)
