You know, I was thinking of Deus Ex, but I thought they built their own engine. I loved that game. And btw,
I could have sworn that I had read that Half-life was built on a Quake II engine. II. 2. You get the idea. Maybe I'm wrong... But that is a memory from years ago.
All I have to do is point to Half-life. It was made on a modified Quake-II engine, as I recall. And...um... what was that spy game featuring a woman? Never played it, but I hear some people liked it. But yeah, when it comes down it, not many blockbuster titles really used somebody else's source. Half-life is the only one I can think of that redefined gaming.
I miss the old days... and I'm not even twenty

I could care less for new, shiny 3D graphics. I DO care less for the new not-so-innovative MMORPGS that get cranked out by big budget corporations. Personally, I would rather see a massive world with 2D graphics like Final Fantasy VI or Seiken Denetsu 3. I would rather have less attention paid to the graphics (and I LIKE 2D graphics, anyway) and more to gameplay, characters...the actual world. I wonder... could such a thing exist on a hand held? Somehow I don't see it working on the PSP, though the DS would be a good candidate.
Btw, I RTFA, and even visited the website. Both the Kothuria and Multiverse. Nice idea, but I'm still not sure how far you can go with this. How far can you go with the graphics or gameplay revisions until you can no longer interoperate with the servers? If you can make a 2D game work with this system, then you have my attention.
