The gameplay of Duke Nukem 3D may seem very linear and basic by what we have in a first-person shooter these days. However, there is so much charm here that it is impossible not to get into it. Most levels do have you doing the same thing over and over. This is getting keys so that you can unlock doors, killing a ton of enemies, and so on.
It is much more challenging than modern shooters are too. So, while you are encouraged to go balls to the wall, you do have to think about what you are doing too. To go with the over the top nature of the game, you have some pretty funky and cool weapons that you can use as well. Duke can use normal weapons, but he also can get his hand on some alien technology as well!
Let me state that there is no substitute for the PC version of this game. However, I have to give a special mention to Duke Nukem 64 on the Nintendo Seeing this game on a console and on a cartridge was very impressive back in the day. Being able to play local co-op with your friends was so much fun.
So, while I would always recommend playing the PC version of the game, do not just flat out ignore the port that was released on the Nintendo As a kid of the 80s, Duke Nukem 3d clicked with me pretty much right away.
Duke is freaking hilarious and he is a total badass. I do admit that I am using a very large pair of nostalgia goggles in this review and it is far from a perfect game by today's standards. However, as far as 90s first-person shooters go there are not many, if any that can match Duke in terms of its over the topness and attitude! Listen up punk today we are talking about Duke Nukem 3D and you better be ok with that!
Sorry about that intro there, but when you are talking about Duke, you cannot help but get a little aggressive and macho. It is crazy to think that this was released on PC all the way back in It by many is regarded as the last hurrah for the sprites based first person shooter.
We kind of take Duke for granted these days, but this icon of video games got his start here. Duke is the ultimate macho dude. He is clearly inspired by all those awesome 80s action heroes and that is part of what makes him so great. The story of the game is pretty simple. There is an alien invasion and only Duke can stop it. Duke's motivations though are also scoring with chicks and pounding some beers!
Duke's one-liners are a major highlight of the game for me. It really does make you laugh. The pop culture references through the game are also a ton of fun.
Duke Nukem 3D is one of those games that you can clearly tell the developers were having a great time with it when they were making it. The gameplay of Duke Nukem 3D is rather linear by today's standards, but I do not hold that against the game. Each level is kind of the same thing.

The gameplay of Duke Nukem 3D is rather linear by today's standards, but I do not hold that against the game. Each level is kind of the same thing. You need to collect a bunch of keys and kill a ton of enemies. You would think that this would make the game get very old quite quickly.
The game though is so much fun that you do not mind how linear it is. The level design is fantastic. You will visit some of Dukes favorite locations such as the XXX movie theatre and the strip club. You will also have to go to more insane places like an alien spacecraft. So, while the actual game is linear, there is so much variety and craziness to the game that you tend to not notice it as much as you would think so. Duke Nukem 3D is one of the most over the top first-person shooters of its time.
Sure, the core gameplay is similar to games like Doom. Doom though does not mate the over the topness that Duke Nukem offers. The weapons are a lot of fun and all feel fantastic. While you get your standard weapons like shotguns and pistols, Duke also is able to get his hands on some pretty cool and crazy alien tech which is a lot of fun to use as well. My personal favorite weapon is the shrink ray. With this gun, you can shrink down one of those butt ugly Aliens and then just stop on them.
The variety of the weapons is another thing that helps make up for the more linear approach of the overall game.
While this is regarded as a pretty big game for the Nintendo 64, the PC version is where it is really at. The modes may be a little limited in comparison to what a Call of Duty offers, but there is still a lot of fun to be had. While it may be more work than some of you are willing to do, Duke Nukem 3D also has a pretty dedicated modded community.
So, if you are into that kind of thing and enjoy player created content. Be sure to dive into it as there are some pretty crazy Duke fans out there. I freaking love Duke Nukem 3D! I really do think that the game is still a lot of fun to play. I do think that it is a product of its time and it clearly is not offering the same kind of experience that a first person shooter is.
However, Duke Nukem 3D is an awesome time and him being so over the top, crude and just generally awesome is a reason why so many people love him to this day. Forget, for a moment, all this wanky "Duke's better than Quake - No it isn't" stuff.
Duke's here, Quake isn't. Quake is going to be a stunning game. But it isn't here yet. So let's talk about Duke, shall we? Basically, it's a great game. It's inventive, amusing, cool, and it's very hard. Most of you will probably have already played the share ware version, but some won't, so here's a quick run-down:. It's a Doom-clone, but better - buildings, for example, are proper buildings, with several floors and huge James Bond-style disappearing computer consoles.
There are outsidey bits, and you can fly about with a jetpack, land on the roof of a building and work your way down through it. You can catch a tube, or go into the sewers and shoot sharks. You can shuttle around space stations with earth in the background.
There are video monitors that you can use to check out your surroundings, and walls that can be blown out completely, allowing access to other areas. There are suspended walkways that can be brought crashing to the ground. There are ventilation shafts that you can get inside and crawl about in, emerging somewhere else. Most things but not enough of them, some say can be shot or blown up: windows, lights - you can even shoot aliens in the toilets, prompting all the usual "blowing the shit out of them" jokes.
It has puzzles and switches that are more hidden than Doom's, and levels that may get you stuck from time to time, Your character is funny. I won't quote him too much here, because these things always seem more amusing when you are playing rather than in print, but he does say, during an earthquake, "I ain't afraid of no 'quake.
One slight drawback is the mouse aiming system, whereby you can look up and down as you progress, and which had me vomiting copiously after one four-hour session. A hot Indian dish, if you must know, and yes, it hurt. About the only thing I can think of more likely to induce nausea is a video of Paul Daniels and Debbie Magee having sex. Then there are the extras - two extra episodes, along with loads of in-game stuff like new weapons, some of which show the aliens obviously have a good sense of humour.
Hey, maybe we should just buy them a couple of beers and have a laugh together There are the new enemies: the chainguncarrying Enforcer; the airborne, mechanised death-dealing Sentry Drone: the rocket-firing, gravity-defying Assault Commander and the Protozoid Slimer, which runs up your trouser leg and sucks your brains out something many people would pay good money for.
There are evil bastards who are very hard to get rid of. Plus there's the level designer, and the facility to convert any Doom wad into a Duke map. Walk into our office at the moment and you'll see everyone playing one of two games, and other people standing behind watching. One is still Championship Manager 2 - and this is the other. When it comes down to it, you could be a techno-snob and ignore this and wait for Quake to appear - or you could buy this and have a good time in the interim.
It's easy for reviewers to suggest multiple purchases in situations like this, forgetting that everyone else has to pay for their games. But in this case. I honestly think Duke is more than value for money.
It's more inventive, and more entertaining, than Doom. I know they've had long enough to get it right but so have many others, who've tried and failed , and I know that with Quake about to hit us. Someone in the office said that this looks like a cartoon, and Quake looks real.
This is also true, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a great game in its own right. We like it a lot. If Apogee don't make much money on it, they'll only have themselves to blame. They've timed its release really badly: it should have been out six months ago. But it's still good. The level editor that comes with Duke is the very one that the designers use themselves, and allows you to edit everything that's in the game apart from the code that runs the game engine itself.
End of story? No not at all. Later release? Port of the game? Also nope. The Library of Congress in the United States is probably the biggest library in the world. It archives besides just books also things as magazines, comics and yes, also video games. Through the copyright registration process the library receives roughly games in a year.
The technician was however triggered by a line of text in the copyright database record: Authorship: entire Video Game, computer code, artwork, music. He put the DVD in his computer and discovered a file directory with the source code of a complete PSP game ; a game of which he later found out to be an unreleased Playstation Portable Game. All the contents of the found disc are however copyrighted material and the disc will be stored in the digital archive of the library.
Unfortunately it seems that its content cannot be shared. According to Apogee the disc is an early alpha version of the game and it was submitted to the library as required for the copyright process.
