I never had an issue w/ Descent's controls (IIRC, I had yaw and pitch on the joystick, left/right strafe on A/D, forward/reverse on W/S, roll on Q/E, and strafe up and down (rarely used) on tab and caps). Once joysticks with a twist axis were a thing the twist became roll and up/down moved to Q/E). Multiplayer Descent was _way_ more fun that DOOM, in my opinion (specifically because of the 6dof... you could sneak up on people from any direction).
