	I don't think we are missing the point, The IBM is such a wide 
based machine that specific gaming questions are often overlooked in 
the market.  Making another group may be the very thing to remedy the
problem, although I think it might be a bit extreme, 'cuz that would 
make this group dry up.  I have had the best response to posted questions
here, because it reaches the games programmers that DO IT!! :-P

		Well, No duh.  The Amiga is a gaming machine!  All its good
for is games!!!  (This is BLATANT FlameBait!! ;-))  All you do on the Amiga
is program games!  Ask Mike Schwartz???  (IS that spelled right?)
