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.
