Game port (specifically on a SoundBlaster32). But isn’t it also a serial port? That’s just what I’ve always referred to with any plug that was just a rectangle full of little pins and not PS/2 or USB lol

No, a game port was a 15-pin connector, while serial ports were either 9- or 25-pin.

Sound card game ports usually doubled as MIDI interfaces, and MIDI is async serial. So they’re technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
