I'd prefer to make this a public discussion.  We can move it to csa.apps
if need be.

Yes, the UPP has a great many.   And if someone were keen, many more
could easily be ported.

As for the list(s) of compatible items, these always (there's about 5-6
largish RISC OS ones) end up not being maintained, and the links quickly
go out of date.  This is the wrong solution - such a list needs to be
automatically generated from packaged software.  This would solve both
the problems of knowing what games (for example) software is about, and
of having outdated lists.
