Why hasn't a moderator deleted this ad yet?
Hey, give me break. I'm a long time game developer (since 1990) and I thought I would share my sound collection for non-commercial use. I'm basically giving away tons of free content. Sure the site has ads, but just about every game developer site that I've looked at has ads too. From the numbers I've read, most of the game portals make over half their revenue from advertising.
I only have targeted GoogleAds on that site, there are no Popup windows. How are you getting popups? That doesn't happen on my machine.

Not being one, I can't speak on behalf of a moderator, but this stuff is actually useful for people, ad or not. Besides, it's free unless you're working on something commercial right?
Is the ownership of 'em all free-n-clear?
(my byline from the Gamedev Collection series, which I co-edited) John Hattan has been working steadily in the casual game-space since the TRS-80 days and professionally since 1990. After seeing his small-format games turned down for what turned out to be Tandy's last PC release, he took them independent, eventually releasing them as several discount game-packs through a couple of publishers. The packs are actually still available on store-shelves, although you'll need a keen eye to find them nowadays. He continues to work in the casual game-space as an independent developer, largely working on games in Flash for his website, The Code Zone (www.thecodezone.com). His current scheme is to distribute his games virally on various web-portals and widget platforms. In addition, John writes weekly product reviews and blogs (over ten years old) for www.gamedev.net from his home office where he lives with his wife and daughter in their home in the woods near Lake Grapevine in Texas.
...And thank you! Cool site, and fairly easy to find what you need.
Free for non-commercial rocks (!), but are we allowed to edit them? What sort of credit do we need to give?
//edit. Also, I don't get any popups.
I tryed the website again and i didnt get any pop-ups. I dont know why i got them the last time but there gone now. Anyways thanks for putting up the sounds.

I recorded or created nearly all the sounds myself. They are all clear of copyrighted stuff. You can edit the sounds all you like, you don't have to credit where they came from, though I wouldn't mind links to the site. :) The main thing is non-commercial (free) vs commercial (Cheap $20).
