OOPS, I was in a hurry, and mis-read your Question.
The mouse port and game port are one and the same
on the IIc. The pinouts are the same as the IIe
9-pin game connector -- but there is only buttons
0 & 1, and paddles 0 & 1 available. As on the IIe
9-pin connector, the annunicators are unavailable.

hope this helps.
If you need more info, lemme know.
