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?)
