Yes! A standard joyport handles 2 analog sticks and 4 buttons. You must use a Y-splitter cable.
I strongly suggest getting a Quickshot J-Link Turbo, if you can find it. I got mine in Software Etc. It's a very nice little switchbox for joysticks allowing you to easily switch between different controls, including a Y-split setup. Even cooler is the fact that there are autofire sliders on the unit for each button. It costs around $20, and is far more useful than a plain old Y-Cable. Hope this helps.

: How do you hook both of them up if you only have one game port? Do you have to use a Y-cable? The game port on most sound cards is supposed to support 4 axis and 4 buttons, right? So how does the computer know that one of your joysticks is x1-y1 and the other is x2-y2? (after they're connected somehow.)
