hi tom you could use stattic graphics in the game to illustrate a given situation. so as well as a bang that you'd hear you'd see a static version of the explosion as well. a few games use this tactic as well and this also has encouraged people to write in and submit additional graphical content. as long as the textual descriptions were still there it wouldn't take anything away from the game.
