And then there was the Quake 2 engine which gave us Deus Ex, American McGee’s Alice and then (through the modified GoldSrc version) Half-Life, Counter Strike and countless others! The family tree of 3D engines is really interesting.

To be fair that’s quite a good bit. Adolf Shitler.

Looks like it would be freezing in winter though.
