WHat popular games are made with the C++ programming language?

I am writing a project on C++ and I havn't been able to find anything that says some of the popular games that are made with C++.

WHat popular games are made with the C++ programming language?
Bjarne Stroustrup (creator of c++ ) states;





"Games: Doom III engine. Sierra On-line: Birthright, Hellfire, Football Pro, Bullrider I %26amp; II, Trophy Bear, Kings Quest, Antara, Hoyle Card games suite, SWAT, and too many others to list... Blizzard: StarCraft, StarCraft: Brood War, Diablo I, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, Warcraft III, World of Warcraft. Quicksilver: Shanghai Second Dynasty, Shanghai Mah Jongg Essentials, Starfleet Command, Invictus, PBS's Heritage: Civilization and the Jews, Master of Orion III, CS-XII. Microsoft: all games. EA: video game engine. Byond: a "world" development platform.."





I'm certain there are many others as well. An infamous game called Trespasser, a dinosaur game, was written in c++ as well, I base this simply on knowing the game executable well and the game's functions are definitely c++.
Reply:Pretty much all major game titles that can be bought off the shelf (including console titles) are mostly written in C++. Often, proprietary scripting languages are built by the game companies and used to speed development, but even those have a foundation in C++, and require C++ knowledge to even use them.





This includes everything from the head-to-head fighters like the "Mortal Kombat" games, to Squaresoft's RPG's, to FPS's like "Unreal", to Driving games like "Midnight Club", to MMO's like "World of Warcraft" and anything else that you can think of.
Reply:I dont know you've played this or not but Hercuel was writen in C++
