First of all I found something that will upgrade my PC into the past millennium. I do love the box though.

Why does it have a joystick port? Is this something sound cards did back then?

@BatElite If we remember right, it is something sound cards did back then. I would guess it was just a convenient place to put them, since any computer one would play games with a joystick on would probably have a sound card, and the sound card itself didn't need many external connectors, leaving room for a joystick port on the back panel.
