I'm pretty sure that no interrupts are generated by the game ports.  As far as
I know, the game port registers are polled by a VBlank server.

You can, of course, design and install your own interrupt handlers for serial
and parallel ports.  

You should probably look in the Hardware manual and the Exec manual.  (The
latter for info. on how to install your own interrupt handlers, etc.)
