My question is, how do the engines, or I assume the code behind it, run all the different aspects in parallel? As a data scientist I'm used to threading, so I was curious if that is used or if there are other techniques used in game development?

Imagine in the mid/late 20th century.

You'd have to build your own hardware, the game engine AND the game itself....
