You got the name right, the game is called Air Warrior.  It's a multi-player
air1 combat simulation based on WW II aircraft that runs across the GEnie
network service.  Glad to be of help.

Please do, making adaptor cables is a major pain and it's kind of amazing
no one has produced such an item so far.  I suppose it must be a chicken
and egg problem.

No, you are correct.  The joystick I used would emulate an IBM style or an
Apple style and the Apple style when you depress the fire button shorts
to the +5 while the IBM shorts to ground.  You'd have to rewire an Apple
joystick to change this behavior to make it work.
