Just in case anyone is unclear what Apogee/3DRealms could bring to the table, here you go.

apexultima: Well if it is 3D Realms you could relate that hint to possibly Balls of Steel. Maybe yes, maybe no. but thats all i can think of. I'm probably wrong though.

JiliK: You might be onto something there. It was developed by Wildfire Studios, which could be what the "flame" is referring to. The "evil" could be referring to Devil's Island, a table that was dropped from Balls of Steel and released as a game in it's own right.
Based on that and the rest of the clues so far, I'm going to have to go with 3D Realms/Apogee too.

Also fits with the "We've got a bleeder" clue.
(from my post in the other thread: For the bleeder clue, it's a quote from "There's Something About Mary" in reference to ...uh... man bits. Apogee once had a pinball division that released a game called "Balls of Steel" -- which was also mentioned in Duke Nukem 3D).

goddamn it's 3d Realms/Apogee, I'm convinced.

I knew i heard that somewhere! It was stuck in my head for damn long!
And i believe the division was called Pinball Wizards

Take 2? They have Rockstar Studios which have developed quite a few games banned worldwide :P

Apogee / 3D Realms is my guess.

And they are based in New York.
Take-two is my guess.

If it is not Apogee/3DRealms I will cry. Not really.
But the clues sure point to Apogee/3DRealms which would be pretty damn cool.
Posted February 25, 2009
Considering some of the evidence presented I'd have to say Apogee/3DRealms. Wish I had seen this going on sooner!

Weclock: goddamn it's 3d Realms/Apogee, I'm convinced.

I'M not convinced yet. If it were 3D Realms & Apogee, it would really take away from the hugeness of this announcement. Much as I'd love to play the full version of Shadow Warrior after all these years, I think it's probably more than likely some developer that not only fits ALL the clues (and is not jammed into all the clues just to convince yourselves it's 3D Realms/Apogee), it would also bring a LARGE catalog of titles.
So I personally am convinced it's Atari/Infogrames/GT Interactive (since UT and its ilk are already on GOG, why not get that publisher, too?). Why? Because GT Interactive/Infogrames/Atari has an amazing back catalog of not only published titles, but developed ones too:
Blood (which was Monolith-developed, NOT 3D Realms (even though the Build enging was used)
Unreal Tournament (sound familiar?)
Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (again, sound familiar?)
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (once again, sound familiar?)
the Area 51 arcade game port to PC
The Witcher (again, sound familiar?
So, I think it's GT Interactive/Infogrames/Atari, since a lot of their published games are already up on GOG.com.

You forgot the original Alone in the Darks (not the remakes.....blecchhhh). And I think there was Knight's Chase that used the same engine as Alone in the Dark.
