I have the commercial version. It works well if you want to make 3d games like
Duke Nukem or Quake. It comes with a map editor to create levels with. You do
have to use a scripting language to make charachters move around. I havn't had
a lot of time to work with it due to work. All I got done was making some
simple levels. I would probably sell it pretty cheap if you want to get a copy
to try before shelling big bucks for the professional version.

I would say anything that says you "don't need to know how to program" isn't
worth your money. Fact is if you want to make good 3D games you'll have to
know how to code.

If your gonna buy an engine... just buy the Unreal engine. That can only be
a couple million or so... =]

Yes it does work very well as a matter of fact. There are 3 versions of
the engine: Lite $99, Commercial $199 & Professional $1450. Although
the advertising reads "No programming needed" it would be more acurate
to say "No C/C++ programming needed". This is a general purpose 3D
raycasting engine with a very powerful scripting language. Programming
skill is a definite advantage to getting the most out of the product.
This can be used for a large number of 3D style games not just
Doom/Quake type games. Racing, adventure, RPG, Sports games, etc are
all quite possible. One comany is even producing a massively
multiplayer RPG with this right now that basically blows UO away. If
you get this make sure you get the most current version which produces
Win95/DirectX executables and offers both 1st & 3rd person
perspectives. I would suggest getting the Commercial version to start
with just to see if you like it and then upgrade to the Professional if
you are serious. The Lite version is a little too "lite" to be of much
use.

Just for curiosity's sake, is there a URL for this product?

And what's the company that produces it?
