![]() ![]() It plays fast and mean, with regular death coming as something of a shock to those who get nursed through the easy modes of today's CoD and other action titles. While I'd much rather see the original Doom ported to the Vita, the much delayed Duke is finally here to inject some retro fun into the handheld's line-up. Fortunately, there's a classic and devious game behind all the smut, which makes Duke well worth a first look if you missed it all that time ago, or for a nostalgic replay (since its currently free on PS+). I’m Back.The toilet, the final frontier! These are the bad taste jokes of Duke Nukem's developers, 3D Relams, dragged back out the sewer almost 20 years on to entertain once again. This time, I’m sticking around.Įlyse Cunningham on Twinings Earl Grey Tea from th…Īrnold on An Interview With James Stanfi…įistful of Bourbon,… on Outlaws: The Spaghetti-Western… Fistful of Bourbon, A peacemaking shot reminiscent of a spaghetti western.Play a game that bridged a genre to it’s future incarnations: Duke Nukem 3D. Duke Nukem 3D, with it’s interactive environment and maze like levels really favors bridging that gap as well. Both are first generation first person shooters and both of them lean out towards the second generation of first person shooters. Later on I will explore more mods like I will do with Deus Ex on this website.įinal Thoughts: I missed out on Quake and Quake II until this year. ![]() Duke Nukem 3D has spawned an incredible modding community. I know The AMC Team is hard at work crafting Episode III. I am eagerly awaiting both mods to continue into development. The Modding Community: Earlier at this blog I wrote about the incredible and addictive Duke Forces.I also wrote an article regarding The AMC TC’s Episodes I and II. Memorable Lead Character: It’s Duke Nukem. And it is only fitting they be featured in a computer game that epitomizes tongue and cheek humor.Consult the imfdb page for information on the chaingun cannon. The Shrinker and the Expander both are weapons worthy of any science fiction motion picture. The most memorable of the corny weapons have to be Duke’s mighty foot, The Shrinker, The Expander, And the chaingun cannon. The destructive environment in this game had to influence the Red Faction series. The pipe bomb is Duke’s favored method of clearing false or weak walls and creating new pathways. The rocket launcher, devastator weapon, and pipe bomb are Duke’s explosive weapons. I typically refer to Duke’s pistol as a poorly drawn Glock. The Glock 23 is an assertion of mine due to the 12 round magazine the in-game weapon has, even though the Glock 23 has 13 rounds. However, the Glock 17 acts more like a Glock 23 or a Hi-Point. Halo could learn a thing or two.Ĭorny Weapons: Duke’s two staring weapons are a shotgun that is likely a Winchester 1300 Defender and a Glock 17 according to imfdb. The shotgun is likely the case. The entirety of the game is not just moving from Point A to Point B and collecting keys like Wolfenstein or Doom, this involves simple switch puzzles, and creating new pathways via explosives and/or observation as like earlier games in this first generation of first person shooters there are secret pathways and areas. Whether it is the city streets of the first episode in Los Angeles or on the moon. Level Design: Each of these levels is an honest maze. Duke Nukem 3D rekindled my love for gaming, especially FPSs which I had not really explored in a long time as my attentions were diverted to role-playing games and strategy titles.ĭuke Nukem 3D’s interesting levels, corny weapons, memorable lead character, and brilliant modding community make this game legendary. The atomic edition was an excellent continuation of the shareware wonder I discovered in high school. Including Duke Nukem 3D in it’s Atomic Edition complete with four episodes. There many a good old game was to be found. This video explains the concept of shareware. In my sophomore year of college, I learned about the glories of GOG.com. Unlike AAA game studios of this era, developers and publishers had a spirit of generosity found mainly in indie studios nowadays. And I didn’t pay a cent as I learned about the idea of shareware. I didn’t play this game again until I was a senior in high school. Duke Nukem 3D was a game I played briefly when it was a recent title. I’ll never forget my mom whipping up cappuccinos while I played Duke Nukem 3D whipping aliens in SoCal and in outer space. Duke Nukem 3D, was a game I played a little too early in life as you can see from the quote. I needed calcium at the time so I did drink the Cappuccino by a now discontinued grocery store brand. Although, I believe GOG no longer offers this. Price: Varies… I own four copies of this game two of them are from Steam and GOG, both are under $10.00.
