Man I haven’t played Close Combat in probably 27 years but I instantly recognized that screen shot. Great game!

I still play C&C Generals and Supreme Commander fairly often. Not sure I’d call them retro but they are pretty old!

I played this on an Amstrad PCW in the mid 80’s, in glorious green screen. Fun little puzzle game, and IIRC it will work your noggin in the later levels.

That’s a man who knows his game.

I have a Buffalo SNES clone (usb) for really old games, and I just use an Xbox controller for newer stuff.

The Buffalo controller is probably 10 years old but still works fine. Good choice IMO if you don’t want to mod an original or hunt down an adapter.
