Struggling with controls on older windows/dos games.
Second, you might look into open source fan made game engine port things. For instance: D2X-XL is a way to run Descent 2 with a more modern engine, and that probably comes with better compatibility with modern gamepads. The FreeSpace Source Code Project is similar.

What old video game would you like to see get a remake or a sequel?
This is probably second only to DOOM in the amount of work that's been done on the original engine to make it awesome. Check it out here and grab the installer; note that you will still need the game files (available at GOG) to play.
