You're better off getting an original Atari, and a box CRT set, and enjoying the experience as it was intended without frame delay. (These games are a lot easier to play when you don't have to wait for the on screen response.)

The other thing is the original paddle controls are a lot more fun for games like Circus Atari or Night Driver than a gamepad.

If you don't like the classic joystick, then between the Commodore and Atari extended line of joysticks, you can find a suitable alternative.
