id Tech 2, also known as Quake engine, is an engine created by id Software for Quake, and later modified for 
Quake II. It was used as the foundation for GoldSrc and all subsequent 
Valve engines.
id Tech 2 consists of the following two "branches":
- The Quake Engine, developed for Quake and used by several other games
- The Quake II Engine, developed for Quake II and used by several other games
Both id Tech 2 engines were later made open-source under the GNU GPL 2.0 (or later) license.
