How do I get it?
You go in a time machine to 1995-96 then send Pie your $69.95 through the mail.
I'm not sure what Pie will do with this engine now. It's far too limited to convince a sale these days especially since there's free engines that give more overall everything in every aspects that exist. FPS Creator fills the gap this engine once held (and does it terrible with its slug of an engine)
Lol.....Pie
Thats funny to me
