I'd like to defend I 82.  I don't have any specifics but i wouldn't consider
this one that "late".  I76 came out.  Later they released I 76 Nitro pack
which included new missions.  And then they released I76 Arsenal which
included the original game, the 3d patch, and the nitro pack.  Only later did
they announce I82 and to my knowledge it's right on track.

Unreal only came out summer 98.  And DNF switched over the the unreal engine.
Were they actually considering being done the game and then decided to switch
to a whole new engine on the initial release date?  gotta love it.
