Default Game port to serial/USB converter available?

I have an old joystick that has a 15 pin game port connector, but my computer does not have a game port!

So I'm looking for a game port to serial port or game port to USB converter. Does such a thing exist? Because I can't find it in the hardware shops around here. Any idea where I can find it?

I do not want to purchase an audio card with a game port to solve this problem.

What a waste of hardware. Another friend of mine has the same problem.

My PC/865 Motherboard has 1 mouse port, 1 keyboard port, 1 video port, 4 USB ports, 1 printer port, 1 serial port, 3 Sound ports, 1 LAN-RJ45 po

I have a old Joystick that has game port, which I ca'nt connect to my PC.
There is an PCI Game Port Adapter, just like PCI Ethernet Card, available in the market, as learnt from my friends.
Tomorrow, I may go to Market to find it.
If found, I may give its cost/model etc.
