Apogee Entertainment, formerly Apogee Software, LLC, is an American video game publisher based in Rowlett, Texas. The company was founded by Terry Nagy in 2008 after he acquired the rights to the name and logo from Scott Miller and his company, 3D Realms, which had used both previously. After reorganizing as Apogee Entertainment in 2021, it hired Miller for its publishing operations. History. Originally, 3D Realms, a video game company founded by Scott Miller in 1987, bore the Apogee Software name and logo until adopting the trade name "3D Realms" in 1996. In 2008, Terry Nagy, a college  friend of Miller, acquired the rights to the "Apogee Software" name and logo, as well as the rights to several games developed under that name, and established a company to publish further titles using the moniker. The publisher's opening was announced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo on July 14, 2008. The company immediately announced the "Duke Nukem Trilogy", three new games in the "Duke Nukem" series—"", "Chain Reaction", and "Proving Grounds"—to be released on Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. A co-publishing deal was reached with Deep Silver to ensure wide distribution of the titles.
