Microsoft Force Feedback Pro

If I'm not wrong we are talking about years ~'90.
Just +20 year ago when a huge number of "ports" adapter were present ... for every "excuse".
Fortunately today some vendors (such as Apple) use just 1 port for all :-).

This joystick has Game Port. In the same period the USB port was replacing the serial port, parallel port, game port,  PS/2 port ...

Game Port  was available onboard of Sound Card (as Creative SoundBlaster) with of the principle "if you need more than a buzzer then you are a gamer".
This is the heaviest joystick I ever seen due to inclusion of two motors in order to provide force feedback effects.
