Hi Brian.
glad to help.
Certainly, there are landmark games in audio games developement, and
classics just in considdering mainstream or independent games, it's just
that sinse the entire audio games pl;aying and producing community is small
even by internet independent standards, there are comparatively few games of
each type.
That's another reason why we're always happy to help anyone who wants to
learn.
As to the crashing, if your on a windows 7 machine, maany audio games were
produced using vb 6 and direct x and if you don't have the components will
crash.
On Jim kitchins' site, his winkit program which installs and runs all his
games will also install many of the older components. Even if you don't
fancy trying Jim's games, installing winkit might be a good idea sinse you
can alwyas uninstall afterwards.
Audio quake remember is based upon the quake engine, and thus is itself an
extremely old game and might well have issues running on post xp windows
without the right components added.
fortunately, most major developers including Gma have updated their older
games like shades of doom to run on modern versions of windows, so no
worries there.
If you let us know what games you've tried, we might also be able to suggest
some more specific fixes.
Hth.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
