A game port is a socket on a game console or a computer for a joystick, flight controller, or paddle controls. Older game ports tended to have DB-9 or DB-15 connectors. However, newer consoles have their own style connectors.

On game consoles and older home computers, it was a socket that came with the device. On PCs in XT or AT cases, it was usually a part of a 3rd-party sound card, and the socket could also be used for MIDI with the right adapters. Some older PCs in ATX cases had built-in game ports.

How port on a sound card can support a joystick or game controller?

A sound card can support a joystick or game controller through its game port, which is a 15-pin connector designed to facilitate communication between the computer and gaming peripherals. This port allows the joystick or controller to send input signals to the computer, enabling it to interpret movements and button presses for gameplay. While modern systems typically use USB interfaces for such devices, the game port was commonly used in older systems for direct communication with gaming hardware. The sound card's game port acts as an interface for these controls, translating analog signals into digital data the computer can understand.
