I recall this newsgroup having been created with the intention of:

NON-Hardware specific game programming discussions...
       (in otherwords, GAME PROGRAMMING THEORY)        ;-)
Anyone have the newsgroup charter ;-)

Cause, programming IBM_PC's belongs under comp.sys.ibm.programming or

just cause they have a certain computer type... how... childish!

    "Just a game machine!"
