id's game engines: id Tech 1, Quake, id Tech 2, id Tech 3, id Tech 4
The engine renders through [[link:/groups/info/opengl OpenGL]] or software.
Uses DirectX 3 on Windows for sound.

The game engine is tied completely to the graphics, so with sufficiently low framerate (usually accomplished with console command that limits framerate) you can skip through objects. This was often used for cheating in multiplayer games.
