Well, Apogee gave Id their start (Catacomb Abyss, Wolfenstein 3D, etc), they published fun games for the PC (Raptor), but most importantly they gave the FPS genre character. Duke 3D had a groundbreaking amount of character and interactivity for the genre. Shadow Warrior and Redneck Rampage were close behind.
For the record, I do not begrudge 3DR of their situation with Duke Forever. They simply lost focus, and tried to do too much without having the technology at the time, the focus to complete the project or the sense to move on. I recently bought the Atomic Edition, and fired up the HRP. That's good shootin'. I can't wait to see the Polymer Renderer in action.
