  This is *exactly* what rec.games.misc is for.  As it stands now:

     rec.games.video      For discussions and game hints of arcade, pinball
                          and home system (Nintendo, Sega, etc) games.

     rec.games.misc       For discussions and game hints of computer games
                          and other stuff (what stuff I don't know)

It seems that  this is there to serve exactly the purpose you suggest.
It probably should be set up like:  rec.games.arcade, rec.games.video,
and rec.games.computer  but then you can't win them all.
