That's not true. Many newer gameport joysticks do not follow the gameport standard. If the box says windows only (or doesn't mention dos) in the system requirements, then it probably won't work.

Another indication that it probably won't work is if it has more then 8 switches or more then 4 analog inputs. Another is that is has a "pass through" to allow you to connect multiple joysticks to it.
