Virtual Worlds and The Left Brain Games™ Catalog Please note that while most games are Flash-based, several examples use Shockwave and Shockwave 3D. These kinds of games can be incorporated into a virtual world by playing in a separate browser window. If that option is not available, then Left Brain Games™ can translate Shockwave games into Flash for an additional fee. Games are categorized by a general price range and timeframe for production. Specific design requirements can affect overall pricing, but these price points should be used when estimating the overall production budget.
