Acknex-3 is a long-forgotten Doom-style raycaster game engine. It was part of 3D GameStudio which used to be developed and maintained by Conitec GmbH.

Although DOSBox allows running MS-DOS applications on modern PCs, until today there is no properly working solution with good emulation of Acknex-3 games, delivering results close to the original experience.

Over the years different research projects have been initiated in order to develop an understanding of how the engine interals work. A long-term target is enabling games created with Acknex-3 to run with a modern 3d engine like Unity 3D.
