Aaron,
The RAP-10 has been selling mostly through music stores, so a lot of
the games developers didn't even realize that it was a popular and
great sounding card.

In DOS, each programmer must develop his own driver for each sound
card. To save time, most games developers went with Sblaster &
compatibles. Any standard Windows 3.1 & Win'95 multimedia applications
work because the drivers are standardized at the Windows link... but a
DOS-based game - even if you play it in the Win'95 operating system -
must have its own driver. Check with the publisher of the game to see
if they have since developed a new DOS driver for more sound cards...
it's their code.

I trust that this is helpful.
