Id STUFF

id STUFF was a digital catalog included on the CDs of several id Software releases, including the Master Levels, Heretic: Shadow of the Serpent Riders, Deathkings of the Dark Citadel and Quake. Players could phone in to order a decryption code for commercial games stored on the CD, which could then be unlocked via the id STUFF interface. The catalog also advertised physical merchandise such as T-shirts and strategy guides. Mousing over a particular item on the display would cause additional information to appear, such as system requirements for games or a back view of the shirts.

The software ran as a 16-bit Windows application. Each version was specific to the release it was installed from and would not properly display the offerings from a different CD containing an id STUFF directory.
