Sound cards used to take up one of the few slots so they’d also have a joystick port since the people buying sound cards were often doing it for games.

I remember buying the Sound Blaster card and “upgrading” my ram for a pretty penny so I could play wing commander.

First game I had that came on CD, first time I'd seen a PDF (instruction manual)

It was also the MIDI port, so it made sense.
