HI there, I still must point out that there is a distinct destinguishing attribute between audio and video games. The manipulation of graphics in a video game would quite render the necessity of high pricing IE. $50.00USD per game or something along those lines; as those games can have been developed over 4-6 months by a team of 3 or 4 people thus producing 2 years solid work. However, an audio game may have been worked on by a sole programmer for a couple of weeks to months to produce a game with in comparison to the video games does not equate to the price. Such games as "GMA Tank Commander" are woth the price they are charged due to the complexity of the engine controlling the game and the number of people who would have been involved in the programming of the game. Also, if you look at the complexity of that game, IE. that it has, i believe 8 levels, it is well worth it.
