 PROFILE
id Software tickles the seat of pleasure with a lot of fragging. The video game maker is best known for its best-selling titles "Doom" and "Quake," in which the primary objective is to kill -- or frag, in gamer parlance -- as many opponents as possible. The company continues to develop sequels to its classics (including "Quake III Arena") as well as titles like "Hexen" and "Heretic," despite criticism of their intense violence. Activision Publishing distributes id's titles. Programmers John Carmack, Adrian Carmack (no relation), Tom Hall, and John Romero founded the company in 1991. (Romero left the company in 1996 to start rival game maker ION Storm.) John and Adrian now own the company along with Kevin Cloud.
