How about a game engine for $100?

OSNews has a nifty blurb about the Torque Game Engine from GarageGames. For $100 you get a full featured game engine (supposedly the one that powered Tribes2!). You can even use the Blender open-source content creation tools with it.

From the article:

The Blender exporter and Torque runs on the Mac OS X, Linux and Windows platforms. The Torque Game Engine (TGE) is a fully featured AAA game engine with a multi-player network code, seamless indoor/outdoor rendering engines, skeletal animation, DnD GUI creation, a built-in world editor, and a C-like scripting language. Unlike most commercial game engines, as part of the low cost license ($100), you receive all C++ source code to the multi-platform gaming engine.

I'm ready! Oh wait, there's that day job I have to do...
