Is this game intended to be played using the mouse and keyboard, gamepad or joystick? Thanks.

Nothing is intended and you're free to do as you like, but I played these games with mouse and keyboard.
I think if you want to play simulation a joystick is more or less advisable but I remember trying it and went for the m+k arcade mode anyway.

Thank you. I will try using the kb&m.

Do you know what the command line parameters are for this game? I want to run the game in a window and set the resolution.

No, maybe look for it in a readme or the documentation.
