--- Trivia
Pronounced /ɪd/ (IPA), this is official, so it's nothing like I.D.
The all lowercase id is the correct and official format of the name, you may have seen it being used with varying kinds of capitalization but that's either to conform to English grammar (first letter of a sentence starts with capitalized letter) or aesthetic purposes.
It is known for Catacomb, Commander Keen, Dangerous Dave, Doom, Enemy Territory, Heretic and HeXen, Quake, Strogg, Wolfenstein
