little game called Half Life.  Countless developers have signed up to use the
Quake 3 engine.  The Unreal engine alone has been licensed for use with Duke
Nukem Forever, Deus Ex, The Wheel of Time, Klingon Honor Guard, X-Com Alliance,
Werewolf the Apocalypse, TNN Outdoors Pro Hunter, Navy Seals, a sequel to Abe's
Oddworld, Hired Guns, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Aeon Flux!  Those are
just the ones that have been publicly announced (I know for a fact that there
are more).

Heck, I got the distinct impression that Unreal The Engine was developed
specifically for licensing, and Unreal The Game was made to show off the engine.
