Unreal engine
The Unreal engine is one of the more popular action video game enginess. First illustrated in the 1998 first-person shooter computer game Unreal, it has been the basis of many such games since, including Unreal Tournament and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield. The Unreal engine was seen as a major rival to id Software's Quake engine. The Unreal engine includes support for a scripting language called UnrealScript, which can be used to quickly modify many aspects of the game without having to delve into the C++ internals.
Games using the Unreal engine
Many other software companies have licensed the Unreal engine in order to speed up development of their own titles. These include Star Trek Deep Space Nine: The Fallen and Ion Storm's Deus Ex. Newer versions of the engine (known as the Warfare engine or Unreal engine 2) are being used for PC games such as Running With Scissors' Postal², 3D Realms' Duke Nukem Forever, the U.S. Army's America's Army and Ion Storm's Deus Ex: Invisible War. Versions of the Unreal engine are available for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Sony PlayStation 2, Microsoft Xbox and Nintendo GameCube.
