I hear you on trying to go back and get the joysticks you remember fondly. I got my Atari 800 working in much the same way you were talking about with the C64 (disk images and files being read off a PC) and bought an $11 joystick styled like the ones that came with the 2600. It broke within a month because its guts were of unbelievably cheap plastic, but I loved the fact that it had a very small microswitchy “click” when going to one of the four compass directions. I need to somehow find a 2600-style joystick with sturdier insides, but one that has that audible click I’ve now grown accustomed to.

(And these devices that allow you to hook up an Atari or C64 to your PC are AMAZING. I can’t say enough about them. The one for the 800 totally gave my system a second life, as I was getting frustrated trying to get a real disk drive to work.)
