Help with game stick

I came across an old 'Flight Stick' (apx 10-15 yrs old) and I was hoping that before I opened up, maybe someone out there had a clue as to it's wiring?
I think it was designed to plug into the old 'Game' port on IBM PC's ... and I used to have a pin out description of that standard, but alas, that was many 'moves' ago .... Does anyone have that old port standard data?
Thanks in advance,
... Tim

Or do you need more?

Nope ... That's it!
Thankyou!

Hey ... I actually enjoy a good challenge, this is actually the throttle that I have planned for the Go-Kart:
With Mr. Schwabe's work on inductors, I was able to adapt an object you saw in the above demo.
It's a hand wound coil on a 5" piece of PVC (apx 50 turns) and I read it with an object I wrote that finds the center of the LC tank ... I read it from 1KHz less than the returned center (never 'chasing' the center), and the results read at that point are very linear!
My physics instructor thinks the 'non-linear' reaction of the inductor is countered by the non-linear reading of the device .. and the two functions are anti functions of each other.
I also like the 'ruggedness' of this throttle ... you can stick it in the mud, and then slide it through and it is not affected (at least that I can detect). My RC throttle works, but would never survive the rain outside.
Who's to say, I don't have a REAL throttle part. Would you say it was fake?
