Retro Roadtest: Duke Nukem 3D

News Portal · **Posted:** 7 Nov 09, 7:31 pm

A little bit of us all died when Duke Nukem Forever bit the dust earlier in the year. Even though the game's development had become a ridiculous joke, there was still some incling that we'd all play that game one day.

Regardless of future of the series, we'll always have Duke Nukem 3D, which just happens to be this week's Retro Roadtest.

typo:"well, they actually take off their clothes off."

Interesting, I only have vague memories of playing duke nukem, but then again I was probably a bit too young

i bought it on good old games.com a few months back, i must say it was fun even though the controls are annoying, you need to use arrows to move or aim, but you can use mouse. only downside is you cant press 'space' to open doors if you use mouse to get decent aim.

Duke Nukem Forever will be released. The IP has to be picked up by someone, doesn't it?

That's a T-101, actually. If you wan't to delve into technicalities, the commonly accepted classification of Arnold's Terminator is a Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Series 800 (CSM-101, T-800) with the model number referring to the external appearance and the series model referring to the endoskeleton chasis. TERMINATOR NERDS

but a T-101 is fine too.

There is a revamped HD version of Duke 3d. Is a very nice revamp and fixes the controls too. It is called eduke32. Risen3d is a doom hd port which is awesome too. You can even have the psx sounds and music in it.

great game, pretty much got me into gaming. Duke is the ultimate alien ass kicker.

Played this recently, levels are still better designed than alot of games I've played over the last decade...plus it was refreshing to play something that wasn't attempting to simulate reality, rather just got the most out of being a game. Get the red key...get the blue key...awesome!

Duke Nukem was good for the day but I remember having more fun playing Shadow Warrior.

played it a few years ago with the highrez pack, not that great a player but definately worth it for Duke

I was gobsmacked (in a massively good way) when he ripped off the bosses head and did you know what, even though he said that he'd do just that when it started you never believed that he'd actually do it :lol:

didn't know about Luke or the Terminator, though I remember the Doom quote even if I don't remember finding him either, *wants to know what he said about Luke/Terminator and other cameos*
