A game developers dream is the integration of all sound drivers, video
drivers, input drivers, 3d drivers, network drivers into one Standard
gaming API..  The answer to this question is Windows 95's gaming API's..<

And what are you smoking?

What do you think the Mac API is all about?
Where do you think MS got the idea of their "gaming API"?

Yea, right, and since when do they come up with anything on their own....
 

P.S. Anyone care to explain to me why they would want to compartmentalize
their programming environment for "gaming" and "non-gaming"??? sounds
pretty dumb to me... but maybe I'm missing something.
