SY-P4VGM needs a game port

Hello,
I built this computer for my 8 year old but it does not have a game port and
one of the games (Tonka Power Tools) requires a game port. Hey it will be
almost free if/when I get the rebates back.

Should I install:
1. a sound card with a game port,
2. just a game port,
3. or a USB game port.
4. or ????

TIA
later,
dave

Just go out and buy a sound card with the game port on it. Then you
will also have better sound then the onboard chip as well. You should
still be able to find a cheap Sound Blaster PCI 128 or something like
that for around $20. Just remember that if you do go with the sound
card you will have to disable the onboard sound in the motherboard
BIOS.
