Name variations: custom game engine

Generally these are faster than "generic" game engines, but obviously are significantly harder to refactor into other projects.

In the unlikely case of the game engine being re-used for another game, replace this tag with an engine specific one (likely "Original Game engine" or similar unless they actually name it).
