- Game port is the traditional connection for
video game input devices on an
x86-based
PCs. The game port is usually integrated
with a PC I/O or sound card, either
ISA or
PCI, or as an on-board feature of some
motherboards.
-
The original game port design by IBM initially allowed four analog axes
and four buttons on one port, allowing two joysticks or four paddles to
be connected, although this required a special "Y-splitter" cable and
isn't fully supported by some combined MIDI / Game ports usually found
on sound cards.
-
Some poorly implemented game ports (usually built-in on old
motherboards and I/O cards) didn't fully support either 4 axes or 4
buttons, making only the use of a single 2-axis and 2-button
joystick possible.
-
The 15-pin game port which also acts as a MIDI port has been dropped
from some newer PCs in favor of the USB port, while some
motherboards still include it and allow to configure it as a MIDI
port or a game port, through their BIOS.
