The strangest one I played was on a friend's computer, although I can't
remember which computer, was one designed for you to be able to practice
using a remote control Helicopter. You literally got an RC controller
(or whatever they are called) which plugged in the joystick port.

 That one doesn't ring a bell, although it it was sold with specific
hardware (e.g., the RC controller) it's no wonder. But if you ever
remember the name of the game, let me know; it's a hole in my
DOS-games collection ;-)
 There are modern games that are similar in concept, designed to
emulate flying a first-person drone. For best use, you're expected to
hook up [the same controls you'd use for real-life drone piloting] to
your PC. TRYP_FPV is the one I tried (nice visuals, not much in the
way of gameplay, tricky to control using mouse/keyboard).
 

This was around 1990 so I'd guess it was one of an Atari ST or Amiga.
