Nope. LucasArts Doom-type game (_Dark Forces_, I believe it's called)
doesn't used the Doom engine. Id licensed the Doom engine to only two
companies: Cygnus (makers of _Raptor_), and Raven (_ShadowCaster_). I
don't know too much about the Cygnus game, but the Raven game (titled
_Heretic_) is gonna be distributed as shareware by Id. It'll be released
sometime this fall.
