You guys are missing the point.  If a game programming question is
hardware specific, then it is actually just a hardware programming
issue--and you'll get the best response if you treat it as such.

The Amiga camp is very good at this.  Comp.sys.amiga.programmer has
recently had all sorts of questions about using dual playfields, custom
copper lists, etc.--stuff that is certainly of use to game
programmers.

I'm outta this one...
