Older devRanters who had a joystick port on their SoundBlasters back in the day… did you ever use it to plug in a joystick?

    Yes, unless the mobo I was using had a built in game port.

    Plugging in a USB joystick (or a USB anything for that matter) used to make windows 98 shit the bed.

    Great times...

    Yup. I remember how I was wondering why it had to be the sound card.

    @Lensflare Didn't MIDI use the same port?

    Yep. Played X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter on a 386 with the turbo button. Those were the days.

    Unfortunately, no.

    Back then my PC was pad-less / joystick-less.

    Had a C64 && a knockoff Atari 2600 w/ a whopping *1000 games that both had joysticks, though.
