(there were joystick ports etc. but I don't think they were used much and you didn't have something like an SNES controller. and configuring them was terrible too IIRC.) the ones I know of are mostly already mentioned: Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Jazz Jackrabbit are the main ones if I'm not forgetting something. there were probably lots of other crappier shareware ones but I can't think of any offhand.
