Lies, damned lies, and dreadful puns

Via Slashdot's Freshmeat box and the Ruby-DOOM home page, I arrived at the website of veteran PC game development demigods, id software, and stumbled across this page from which I will quote verbatim:

Hovertank 3D (1991)
The first 3D PC game ever!

Lies! Outright lies! If someone fancies explaining quite how "Hovertank 3D" qualifies as any more 3D than, say, Stunt Car Racer (1989) or Elite (PC version 1987) then please, feel free to leave a comment.

Now, I'm as much of an id fanboy as the next long-time PC gamer - Doom was great, and Quake was even better. But that's no excuse for trying to rewrite videogame history! The guys at id need to keep their egos in check...
