Hi Willem, Thanks. Yes, that's how I see things as well. I generally have the most fun when the game is challenging, has some puzzle or strategy element to it, and a good story line. Sound effects, music, etc is all secondary to me. Sure I love having a great audio environment to Mysteries of the Ancients but it is the storyline I like more. I could have created it as a text adventure just as well and enjoyed it as much, but I knew a text adventure probably wouldn't be as apealing as a fast action side-scroller. So my view of this rpg game is similar. I am mor interested in exploring the world of Etherea and battling the goblins, ogres, demons, orcs, drau, and other evil character races than awesome sound effects and a good music track. Although, as people want music and sounds I suppose I can add a certain amount of that in with an on/off switch.
