	Audio game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Audio games originally started out as 'blind accessible'-games and were developed mostly by amateurs and blind programmers.
		Most audio games run on a computer platform, although there are a few audiogames for handhelds and video game consoles.
		Up until now, game challenges have been presented using dice, cards, boards, balls, a computer monitor, etc. Audio games expand this range with presenting a challenge in sound.

	Computer and video game music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arcade games in the 1970s often contained music of some sort, but it was typically monotonous and so indistinct that it was easily dismissed and parodied.
		Previous game systems and home computers had for the most part continued the beeps and boops of early arcade games (except for the Magnavox Odyssey, which was silent).
		Games for the PC such as Republic: The Revolution (music composed by James Hannigan) and Command and Conquer: Generals (music composed by William Brown) have utilised sophisticated systems governing the flow of incidental music by stringing together short phrases based on the action on screen and the player's most recent choices.

	Armchair Arcade: Article / The Rise and Fall of Game Audio
		The problem with modern game audio (and, as some would argue, the problem with modern games in general) is the same as the problem with modern films: The medium has evolved, the art, arguably, has not.
		Game audio composers like Hubbard and Tanaka were able to produce such excellent and well-suited computer and game audio because they were excellent at writing code for computers as well as human performers.
		Still, if the cost of making a living in game and computer audio is that composers restrain their artistic impulses for the sake of a marketing analyst’s report, it is probably best that we have no game and computer audio at all.

		Audio Gallery: Michael Pummell [01.06.04] Michael Pummel started writing music at the age of seven, then naturally spent time touring with bands in high school and college, and has composed for everything from TV commercials to documentaries, but has found creating music for games to be the most enjoyable and rewarding.

		Historically, game audio has been implemented as an afterthought, done at the last minute with the smallest of budgets.
		Game sounds have consisted primarily of highly compressed low-quality samples which are constantly repeated.
		These technologies are applied to upcoming games through the developer's use of a complete software development toolkit for rendering hyper-realistic sounds based on real-world or imagined events in games for the PC platform, as well as for Microsoft® Xbox™ and the Sony® PlayStation® 2.

	Audio Director Heather Sowards Talks About the Sound Design of EverQuest II - PC News
		We felt like the rest of the game had such a grand cinematic feel to it, that there was no reason the audio shouldn't be at that level as well.
		You need to pick the elements in the game that are going to create the illusion you want to build for the player and what sounds are important to alert the player to key game play information.
		I would say that the scope of the audio in general on this game is such a huge undertaking, that we will be very proud of it once we have finished and delivered it.

	Comments on 5.1 Audio, Game 3D Audio and OpenAL on the Mac
		AC3 or movie surround sound (there are other formats too, but let's keep it simple), is audio that has been encoded on a disc that needs a decoding device like a 5.1 Live/Audigy to decode, or a set of speakers that has a decoder built in to play back.
		Game 3D audio is generated by a set of mathematical equations in real time to make an event happen from a certain direction.
		I think the game makers are going to wait to see what happens to the market, but I would guess it would be a relatively simple patch to add OpenAL back in.

		As the audio director for Cyan as well as servicing several outside contracts, Tim Larkin has had experience in creating soundtracks and audio design for a variety of projects.
		In a Myst game for example, there's so many places where it has to be unique and original because it's scored to the game similar to how you would do a film, and licensing doesn't make sense.

		What's in store is a deep, multi-part guided tour of the guts of game engines, with a particular focus on the Quake engines, since Raven Software (the company where I worked recently) has built several titles, Soldier of Fortune most notably, based on the Quake engine.
		The game part would be all the content (models, animations, sounds, AI, and physics) which are called 'assets', and the code required specifically to make that game work, like the AI, or how the controls work.
		For those that have ever glanced at Quake's game structure, the engine would be the Quake.exe, and the game side would be the QAGame.dll and CGame.dll.
