	Games - Infinity Engine

The Infinity Engine is a computer game engine, which allows the creation of isometric computer role-playing games. It was developed by BioWare for Battleground Infinity which later became the first installment of the Baldur's Gate series
. BioWare used it again in the subsequent installments of the series, but also licensed the engine to Interplay's Black Isle Studios.

The Infinity Engine features real-time gameplay with pseudo-real-time combat. The engine uses a third person isometric perspective with pre-rendered 2D graphics. It supports six character party-based adventuring. The Infinity Engine was the spiritual successor to the Gold Box Engine, and provided the basis for five Dungeons & Dragons
licensed computer role-playing games plus additional expansion packs. It was succeeded by BioWare's Aurora engine.

The following games are powered by the Infinity Engine:

Baldur's Gate (1998)
Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast (1999)
Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000)
Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal (2001)
