Description: A showcase of amazing and weird game engines.

 <p>Looks like people is going mad lately, and if you don't think so, check this three examples and think again ;)</p> <p><a href="http://voxelstein3d.blogspot.com/">Voxelstein 3D</a></p> <p>Our all-time classic FPS, having lots of excellent <a href="http://wolf3dredux.sourceforge.net/">engine remakes</a>, gets an interesting twist with voxel technology.</p> <p>Although still an alpha, looks great (that is, if you don't expect Crysis-like graphics) and adds a new element to the game: destructible environments.</p> <p><img src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/voxelstein3d_001.jpg"> <img src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/voxelstein3d_002.jpg">  <br></p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20081217234406/http://blog.alternativaplatform.com/en/">Alternativa3D</a></p> <p>What about having a 3D engine made in flash? A impressive one, if you consider it is just software rendering (no 3D acceleration).</p> <p><img src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/alternativa3d.jpg"> <br></p> <p><a href="http://paulbourke.net/miscellaneous/scc5/">POVRay Short Code Contest #5</a></p> <p>If you knew POVRay (a Raytracing renderer which uses an object-based scene definition language), what could you do in a 512 scene definition file?</p> <p>Well, you can check the results (as Quicktime videos) and download the source files. Really impressive!!</p> <p><img src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/povray_scc_001.png">  <img src="https://images.kartones.net/posts/screenshots/povray_scc_002.png"></p>
