There are a number of such domains... security, DSP, real-time systems all have "unnamed" skills to them. Games happen to be pretty good as well because they let you wrap several different kinds of technologies together - the tricky part with games is really that they need great design much more than they need good engineering, and yet you can ignore this as a coder because you can always make your renderers and simulations more generalized and complex.
