Then the only difference between people's setups are the speed, not the API. Some might have a 200MHz 604 in an A4000, others a 200MHz 603 in a 1200, I'll have a 600MHz 750 in an A1. This means you'll have to decide what minimum requirements you're gonna set, then code for that. Anything above that should be considered a bonus, and used to provide better graphics or something. Freezing everyone at a 10MHz CPU to make it easier to code platform games won't actually help much for sales :) It's only extremely hyped up consoles like the X-box, PS2 and N64 that can sell in millions even if they are just low-specced computers (ok, so not _that_ low specced, really :) ). And the reason for this is that they have a lot of financial backing. Financial backing means you can get the platform with a couple of great games out on the market at low cost, then make money from licensing games. I for one don't want any of that on my Amiga...
