The Flash Ray Engine is a new and groundbreaking engine designed to coincide with the release of the Flash 8 player from Macromedia.

One of the most influential games on the PC of the last 25 years was undoubtedly Castle Wolfenstein.  So, when Flash 8 came out with the ability to create high speed bitmap graphics, I just had to put myself to the challenge, and make it playable online!  Click here to play it!

The engine is available to be licensed, and can be customized in a variety of ways. Click this link to see full details.
