It's a funny situation. A year back a friend and myself bought G2000's,
I got the desktop (stupid me, it's huge) and my friend bought the
tower. Both 486/33's.

Both had the WD multi-port HD controller; mine had a joystick port in the
back of the machine while my friend's only had it on the card but no
space to plug it onto the box. He called Gateway to have one sent but
I think they didn't sent it (or they did not have such a piece). Finally
he bought a game card.
