Question Can you get an Atari Joystick working on a PC

Just wondering as getting into the emulations scene with loads of games for the fantastic old atari vcs and commodore 64 (not to mention mame) that I used to play with my trusty collection of Ataric joysticks - best stick ever period.

Surely some brain box has come up with a way of plugging one into a PC or designing a PC version. My gamepad just isnt the same for the classic games and my favourite, Ik+

I once had an Amiga, and I believe that the joysticks for both were the same. I haven't done this yet, but what I'd try is to connect the joystick into the COM port and look if Windows recognizes it (in control panel > gamecontroller)
