Eventually, yes, though they were only distributors for that one (id Software
actually wrote the Commander Keen series; check out their exorcism of their
past games, including Wolf and CK, in DOOM II's secret levels).

Kroz was one of their earliest releases and was written by Scott Miller, the
founder of Apogee. Here's an underdogs blurb on it (note that this is a
