Good Old Games: Duke Nukem 3D!

[fixa46]

Discuss about the Duke Nukem series, especially Duke Nukem 3D. I have tried to get the full versions of the first two games but haven't succeeded. I have completed all the chapters (Also the 4th chapter on Atomic) on Duke Nukem 3D, difficulty level 2. (3 On chapter three.)

You can by Duke Nukem 3D from www.gog.com for only something like $5.99.

But please, don't make a big topic out of Duke Nukem Forever. It may come or then not. I'm sick of gamers fighting about it.

Hasn't Duken Nukem 3D been free for a big while now? I mean, officially free heh.

Anyway, the Duke franchise has been one of my favorites for years now, I mean it has a lot of personality and charm to it ya' know? I'm torn between Duke Nukem Zero Hour and 3D as being my favorite though.

Hail to the King baby.

I recreated the first level Holywood Holocaust with the unreal engine ^^

Duke Nukem was never intended to get released. Didn't you read the chair story that leaked?

It was just a publicity scam and they sold their engines to other companys.

If you want Duke3D, I recommend you download and install the Duke Nukem 3D high resolution pack Download link
You will need the data file DUKE3d.GRP when it asks for it. Strangely you can use the shareware version and it will install the full game You can find the shareware DUKE3d.GRP here
Scroll down where it says :

The data file DUKE3d.GRP – (Needed if you don’t have any full GRP file already): 1.3d SHAREWARE GRP (4.3 MB) data file.

and download it. Then when you install the HRP and it ask for it. simply browse the GRP file and voilà you have Duke Nukem Atomic edition with high res textures and even the characters are 3D polygon characters

Wrong. They wouldn't of brought a publisher (who is currently in the middle of suing them ) if they never intended to complete development of the game.

So what makes you so sure of that? Apparently they did and now they are beeing sued by Take-Two.

"We can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title," said Take-Two's Alan Lewis in a statement.
