90This Bad Influence clip from the 1990s perfectly illustrates how PC/DOS game development was sometimes driven by software techniques instead of game design. Before the advent of hardware-accelerated graphics, sometimes people created technically impressive engines first, then tried to come up with gameplay that fit that engine. In this clip, we can see Magic Carpet originally first started as a Voxel engine (!), first made popular by Comanche: Maximum Overkill.
