Different types of games w/ same graphics engine?

[Slickone]

I remember reading game pre/reviews in the past where the game would use the same graphics engine of another game by the same company, but they would be a completely different style of game.

Like action game and flight simulator...

Anyone know any examples of some?

Lots of games use the Quake 3 engine. I think JKII: Outcast & RtCW are 2 of them.

Well, IGI uses an engine originally developed for a flight simulator. Also, UT and Deus Ex use the same engine and are both first person, but are totally different types of games, one being a fast paced FPS and the other practically a RPG.

Cool, thanks aswedc. I think IGI and JSF is one I was thinking of. Any others like it?

Although the connection is pretty weak, the Neverwinter Nights engine (Aurora) is based on the MDKII engine (Omen).
