FLAC format
I really don't think there's any point in making the FLAC Format (Chasm) page; FLAC format is by no means limited to that one game, meaning that, even if a page were made for it on this wiki, it should be a general page describing the file format, not one describing its use in this one game. But the format was created firmly after the DOS era, is widely used, is easy to find information on, and there are hundreds of tools for reading/writing it, so I don't think even a page on the flac format itself is warranted on the wiki here. You can just use [[wikipedia:FLAC|FLAC Format]] to elaborate on it. The same thing goes for the PNG format.
Game suffixes to pages are added to accurately describe different formats that might otherwise end up with the same wiki page title (such as DAT Format, or the many game specific "map formats"). The FLAC and PNG format used in the Chasm remaster are not distinct proprietary formats; they are the exact same FLAC and PNG format generally used in a ton of other programs, and the first thing that springs to mind when someone mentions these names.
If you want to describe how / where these FLAC / PNG files are used in the game, just do that on the game page.

- I have now migrated this to the main game page.
