Today I learned the 'official' description (as shown in sites like
newsgrouper.org) for this newsgroup is 'arcade-style games on PCs.' 
No wonder people worry about being off-topic.

Of course, arcade games were a lot more varied than people remember,
and genres like strategy, RPG and simulation games all made it -in one
form or another- into the cabinets. They rarely were commercially
successful, but 'arcade style' is actually a lot more extensive than
people realize. 

Although... maybe we could get people to plug in a 1€ coin for every
question they ask? What could be more arcade than that?! ;-)
