I think Blender always came with its own render engine -- the so-called 
Blender Internal -- but it was seemingly just a scanline back then:

The old Blender Internal renderer got a raytracer integrated but is too 
messy, too late.  They intend to make the new Cycles unbiased path 
tracer the default engine eventually.  It's built into the latest 
releases and already provides some awesome results at minimal cost for 
set up and I'll be using it.  Just hope my modelling skills can match 
the lighting... :)
