This is one of the few newsgroups that I read everything that's posted. Most of the stuff in rec.games.misc is about MS-Dos junk. I post stuff about Amiga arcade games in rec.games.video from time to time, simply because I believe that is where they should be posted. Do you really think Dungeon Master and Hybris should be discussed in the same group? I think anything that concerns the Amiga (including product anouncements, games, etc.) should be in this group. However, don't be afraid to post in rec.games. misc, or rec.games.video, after all, like it or not, the Amiga is one of the best games machines around... > >-- >Joachim -Evan _______________________________________________________________________________ | Evan Jay Mitchell EECS/ERL Industrial Liaison Program | | mitchell@janus.berkeley.edu University of California at Berkeley | | Phone: (415) 643-6687 | | "Think, it ain't illegal...yet!" - George Clinton | |_____________________________________________________________________________|
