Apparently Id Software co-founder John Carmack hasn’t seen our list of Android app millionaires.

The Apple iPhone is to receive a slew of id Software-related games soon, including Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein and even Rage titles, id’s John Carmack has confirmed.
id Software, the legendary videogames developer behind games including Doom, Wolfenstein and Quake, has been bought by ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks. Bethesda is responsible for recent games including Fallout 3, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and upcoming titles including WET, Brink and Rogue Warrior, all unveiled at E3 2009.
Aptly named Wolfenstein 3D Classic has just taken up residence on the iTunes Store, available to download for iPhone and iPod Touch. The App costs a mere £2.99 and sports a whole new control interface designed to suit the multi-touch interface. Although all you actually need is forwards, back, left right and shoot.
