First thing you need to do is to install your joystick on your PC. This is relatively straightforward in Windows XP, as it tends to automatically recognise 'plug and play' devices, otherwise you may need to install a 'driver', a bit of software that tells windows how to communicate with the joystick.

In Windows 98, you will probably have to install a 'driver' (check before you buy that it is compatiblewith win98).

once you have done that, you should be able to start the game, go to the 'settings' and check a little box that says 'Enable Joystick'.

Then click 'Game Controllers', which opens a 'wizard' that will show you if the joystick hase been recognised by your PC.

If it has, click 'properties' then 'settings' then 'calibrate' which will take you through the calibration process step-by-step.

You don't need a joystick, you can play with just a mouse or a keyboard, but a joystick makes it much easier.

Not necessarily. You can play it with your keyboard, but the most popular way to play them is with a joy stick or double joy stick controller.
