Games that use the same engine
What games are there that pretty much seem to use the very same engine?
Let's start with Trolls and Oscar. These seem to be pretty identical from an engine point of view. What other games that use almost identical engines are there? |

Well, Oscar actually starts as Trolls 2, but Flair Software decide that he is not cool enough and order Philip Nixon to design better character. There are various magazins previews that shows Troll in different costumes on early Oscar levels.

Makes sense. Change graphics, map and sound and you can pump out games every 2 weeks??? Depending on the engine quality you could get some good $$$

Not sure about this one but Cool Spot and Global Gladiators might also use a pretty similar engine. Both were written by John Twiddy and use maps built with tUME.

I don't think Civilization and Colonization use the same engine. The Amiga version of Colonization was written to be as Amiga-friendly as possible and can be run on top of Workbench. Civilization was more or less a straight port of the PC version.

Very likely:
Sherman-M4: http://hol.abime.net/1907 and Advanced Destroyer Simulator: http://hol.abime.net/3192 Didier Arnaud was involved in both games and you can notice some similarities in both the HUD and some 3D renditions (although since one is on land and the other at sea, there are not that many). |
