The Terminator: Future Shock was the first game to use the engine, and also the first 3D PC game to use the now popular mouse-look interface, which was initially unpopular with gamers.[1]
Originally, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind was supposed to use the engine but it was ultimately dropped in favor of NetImmerse (the predecessor to Gamebryo).

gollark: According to typing speeder I'm something like 35WPM slower on mobile.
gollark: It's *responsive* except in Discord which since a few versions ago had horrible typing latency sometimes for no fathomable reason, it's just *bad*.
gollark: Yes it is. Programming is art when it's potatOS.
gollark: And yet they don't have usable keybords for writing things, sufficiently large screens to do video editing and such without æ, OSes which are designed to allow data sharing between apps for purposes, a sufficiently non-locked-down system for basically any sort of scripting/programming outside of somewhat isolated environments, etc.
gollark: I only do it in emergencies or when heavpoot asks for OIR:EM or something because it's quite irritating.
