3D Realms (legal name Apogee Software, Ltd.) is the name of a
computer game publisher and developer based in
Garland, Texas, established in 1987. It is best known for popularizing the
shareware distribution model and as the creator of franchises on the
PC such as
Duke Nukem, and also the publisher of other franchises such as
Commander Keen and
Wolfenstein 3D. The name 3D Realms was initially created as a branding label in July
1994 for use by Apogee which would be dedicated to just 3D games (as Apogee was then known for several styles of games). However, shortly after this, 3D games started to dominate the industry, and Apogee decided to direct their focus on this style of game, and as such, the Apogee name was eventually abandoned as a public marketing name in late
1996. While the company is now known as '3D Realms', the legal name of the company is still Apogee Software, Ltd.
