The Quick Lowdown

It's Duke Nukem!  Do we have to say any more!

Okay, we will.

It's Duke Nukem, baby!  More verbal abuse than you can find in a male chauvinist's house, this game rocks.  The original bad ass daddy that started the mouse aiming off to a good start.  This game took Doom and increased upon it ten fold.

Company:  3D Realms

I'm Here To Kick Ass And Chew Bubble Gum!  And I'm All Out Of Bubble Gum!

Duke Nukem will not die!

After two successful side scrolling adventures, Duke Nukem has entered the first person arena.  Action packed with an attitude to boot, Duke kicks ass!  And now Duke kicks ass across any LAN network so you can kick your friend's ass too!

Hail To The King, Baby!

Over 30 levels of alien busting, stripper shootin', attitude adjustin'  action.  And weapons galore.  Ten massive weapons in an arsenal that kicks.  Tough bosses and tons of aliens to keep you on your toes.

What more do you want from an action adventure game?!?

The Final Say

The Bad

Let's face it, compared to games of today, Duke Nukem's graphics suck!  And the sound isn't much better.  That great midi quality that we gave up on over 5 years ago during the dawn of the MP3.

And the aliens aren't that much better.  They aren't really that difficult (until you get to the absolute end boss, then it's like hunting a T-Rex in Carnivores)

As for network play, there's better.  Hard core gamers already get off on Unreal, Quake and Tribes, why muddy up the pool.

The Good

It's Duke Nukem, baby!  He's the original!  Why would you turn your back on Duke!

The Last Word

Passing up on this game is like passing up on a great meal, or a fantastic car.  You know that Duke is reliable.  For God's sake, there's people out there that still swear by the game.

Unlike Carnivores, if you can, go out of your way to pick up this game.  It is a classic and one that will never die!

The Cost

This game was a keeper.  I've found it and lost it more times than I care to remember.  The last copy I had, I gave to my buddy Pearce.  I figured I'd get another copy of it somewhere.  Besides, it wasn't something I would die if I didn't get again.

Well, wouldn't you know, PC Gamer Magazine was offering the full first three versions of Duke including the one that made him famous.  All this and Quake and Half-Life Mods.

My cost:  $9.99 Canadian.
