yes, video games. The processors are stuffed with short displacment
address modes, little integer arithmetic, etc. The fact that they support
(realtively) long addresses, long integers, and long floating point numbers,
makes them useable for real operating systems. 

but the only reason they are useable economicalyis bang/buck which is
high because of all of those people buying them for games............
