Really? I played with a PDP-8/L back in my school days, though we had  
only paper tape, not the DecTapes I think you are talking about. I  
wrote a blackjack game in PAL-III assembly, hard to do much higher  
level language stuff with only 4K of core (note, "K", not "M" o "G",  
and that *was* REAL "core").

Cross-Over from the CodeWeavers claims support for just about any  
Windows game. It's basically an optimized Wine I think.

I'd think that any USB-connected controller would work. The PS3  
controller is USB and BT, if you have a BlueZ stack working.
