History Main / PortTown

* Wakeport in ''VideoGame/MarioAndlLuigiDreamTeam''.

->''"[[IncomingHam You wanna know where you are?]] Hahaha!'' In Port Royal!"

* Spillar's Harbor in ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie/GruntysRevenge'' is also this.

* In ''RagnarokOnline'', there's Izlude, Alberta and Hugel. Izlude and Hugel have your normal seaports as well as airship ports.

* Highcliff in ''NeverwinterNights2''.

* The [[TropeNamer titular]] Port Town from ''VideoGame/{{F-Zero}}'', servicing as a port for space travel on Earth.

* Venezia in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia''.

* ''All of them'' in ''VideoGame/SkiesOfArcadia''.

* Larapool of ''{{Quest 64}}''.
* Rhappala in ''BreathOfFireIII''. [[spoiler: You don't get a boat on your first visit, though]].

* Beloveno from ''{{Albion}}'' is the largest settlement in the entire game. The large port takes up 25% of the map. The rest is a maze of buildings. If you didn't use the map for instant travel in the first town, you will use it here.
* One in each ''GuildWars'' campaign: Lion's Arch in ''Prophecies'', Kaineng Center in ''Factions'', and Kamadan in ''Nightfall''. If you purchase more than one campaign, you can travel between them using these cities.
* Jolly Roger's Lagoon from ''[[{{Banjo-Kazooie}} Banjo-Tooie]]'' is definitely this.

* All towns in ''QuestForGloryV''; seeing as this installment of the series is based in a FantasyCounterpart to Greece, this is justified as all towns are close to water and have to live off of fishing.

* [[http://www.terraearth.com/wp-terraearth/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/South-Cape.png South Cape]] from ''IllusionOfGaia''. The hometown of the KidHero, it's where the game first starts. Ironically, you end up going north and travelling by land when you leave, instead of taking a boat.
* Queynos and Freeport in ''{{Everquest}}''. They also count as FirstTown for human characters.

* About eight different towns in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', including one of the Alliance capital cities. The port area of the island Darnassus is treated as a separate zone, but since it's built around a teleporter that takes you straight into the city the division is somewhat arbitrary.

* The place where the title character works as a barmaid in the song "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" by The Looking Glass. ("There's a port/On a western bay/And it serves/A hundred ships a day...")
* Vermilion City, Slateport City and Castelia City in ''{{Franchise/Pokemon}}'' games. Slateport even has a group of wailmer blocking the harbor at one point.

* All towns in QuestForGloryV; seeing as this installment of the series is based in a FantasyCounterpart to Greece, this is justified seeing as all towns are close to water and have to live off of fishing.

* Toto in ''Videogame/{{Earthbound}}'' is a small fishing village/ port town attached to Summers, which is a beach side resort. You can take the boat from there to Scarab, a town with a less favorable pier-to-town ratio, but still one the clearly relies on incoming water transport.

* The titular Port Town from ''VideoGame/{{F-Zero}}'', servicing as a port for space travel on Earth.

* Summers in ''{{Earthbound}}''.

Usually coupled with an island and much larger than the FirstTown, this is usually just where the characters are going to GetOnTheBoat to the next continent. Otherwise expect a fishing village and a beach, perhaps with a [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere floating fish monster]] that's preventing ships from sailing. If the boat doesn't leave fast enough to get wrecked at sea, the PortTown suffers this fate instead.

Often the PortTown will only let you GetOnTheBoat after doing a [[FetchQuest quest]], usually as a way [[BrokenBridge to assure the game you're ready]] to move ahead to an area where you might not be able to backtrack to. If the PortTown is host to an unsavory or criminal subdistrict filled with smugglers, privateers and pirates, this is the NotSoSafeHarbor.

* Capua Nor in ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''.

* [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Vermilion City]], [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Olivine City]], [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire Slateport City]] (even has port in its name), [[VideoGame/PokemonColosseum Gateon Port]], and [[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Canalave City]] from the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' series. [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Castelia City]] is a mix between this and HubCity.

** Due to ash storms and a certain monster-spawning volcano, ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' features many cities that hug the coast of Vvardenfell like Vivec, Ebonheart, and most of Zafirbel Bay and Bitter Coast
