Whoah! Somehow I completely missed the era of bitbanged serial protocols over conventional joyport pins. That's wild. Breathed a few more years of relevance into that old thing. I recently ran across a sale price on a brand-new Logitech Extreme 3D Pro USB joystick, which looks identical to the one I purchased in 1999 or thereabouts (also on sale as it was already an old unit), and which I believe to have been one of the first wave of natively-USB joysticks. If it really is the same unit, I think that would make it one of the oldest PC peripherals still in production, at probably 25 years or more. Being that the Game Port Adapter was available in 1981 for the first IBM PC, do you have a sense of when the _last_ analog/joyport joystick went out of production? Has USB now outlived its predecessor? (Of course joysticks and paddles were available for previous systems, but I think we're speaking strictly of the PC universe here.)
