It was the first FPS that I actualy finished, back when it was released. I always liked it more than Doom and Quake series. The original cd is back in Greece, so...
So, after years I installed and played Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition. Didn't expect much.

I was so wrong. The game is just amazing! Even after all these years! Sure strategy, rpgs etc can be great, but not FPS games! This one is like, wow!
I played a bit the first level (till I met my first pig with a shotgun, where I lost...and had forgotten to save the game LOL. Apart from the graphics which look fine, and the gameplay which is EXCELLENT, I was surprised with the sound, the sound effects are still very good, and the sound of your little gun is better than any other sound of a pistol/handgun in any other FPS as far as I remember.

What a game! :guns:

yah this game is sweet!
i used to play this non stop. I even played the co-op with a friend + multiplayer (N64) for many nights on end!

you have great taste efthimios! :ok:

WildZeppelin 08-08-2005 08:32 PM

never let a friend borrow this.... cause now I have an ex-friend from now way out of town with no hope of getting it back.... guess I can't pick this up anywhere either...

Eagle of Fire 08-08-2005 09:11 PM

I remember back in the days being able to shoot any lesser ennemies only with my Desert Eagle with ease...

Ahhh, the time spent on the multiplayer map Warzone... :angel:


Sadly, they don't make such good games anymore.

Toxik 08-08-2005 09:49 PM

Playing for that long, whatever the game, is not healthy... I seriously wonder how you manage that anyways... Sugar trip?

WildZeppelin 09-08-2005 05:07 AM

I enjoyed playing it. Especially loved the wisecracks, such as when I lobbed a pipe bomb at 3 piggies and blew them apart, Duke says "heh heh heh, what a mess!"
They packed that game with everything. Sure wish they'd get to a sequal.

I just got finished playing the FEAR demo! WICKED darn game I've ever seen! A MUST. Duke Nukem nowadays should be on a scale such as this.

It was just a matter of free will and also lot of caffeine
now i know too its dangerous,and if i start thinking i should try it again i just look at my cousin(addicted to CS-map assault)

I loved to play Duke Nukem 3D... I still play it when I got the time. Does anybody know something about the next Duke Nukem??? I haven't heard fresh news about it

Blood-Pigggy 11-08-2005 01:06 AM

Yeah, Duke Nukem Forever is scaring me, no one knows if it's been cancelled or not, going to 3D Realm's website brings up "In Progress" I'm like... whoa.

Toxik 11-08-2005 06:20 AM

i believe its in progress from 1996? or 98?
anyway its too long for me to care.

Apocalypse Dude 11-08-2005 06:24 AM

Duke 3d is a cool game, but it can't beat Doom and Quake... Id Software is still the 3d shooter king for me....

TheChosen 11-08-2005 09:19 AM

The best thing in PC DN3D is the awesome level editor. Aaaahh.....

I have also played N64 version of this game. It had a Duke-Match against PC.

It's been remade in serveral engines by now.

efthimios 11-08-2005 10:20 AM

OK...so.....believe it or not I am stuck.... I am in the night club and killed the aliens there but now what? I have searched the building as much as I could but for the life of me I can't remember what to do next. Very embarrasing. Anyone remembers?


Duke Nukem Forever I have a feeling (and just that) that it will come out some time next year. It looks like they are sticking to the latest engine this time.

Apocalypse Dude 11-08-2005 10:54 AM

Yeah, but for how long... everytime a new engine comes along the start to rebuild it around that engine....

i think you had to kill someone, than a few pigs would come and you would go to where they came from, but I can't be sure, it's been half a decade since I playe that, my Cd is lost long the way, and the game is ESAed. :cry:

Apocalypse Dude 11-08-2005 11:02 AM

I believe you could jump on one of the dancing girl's plateau's and you could then jump backstage, but I'm not sure it's been ages ago since I last played Duke 3d

Toxik 11-08-2005 11:03 AM

thats the problem..i heard Deus ex started on Build engine

There is an air vent somewhere to the right. You shoot it and then you jump thru. This will lead to a very narrow passage way behind the scene and I'd recommend you to use pipe bombs if you have before jumping blindly because a bunch of Pigs are waiting for you there.

Doc Adrian 12-08-2005 12:27 PM

This and Worms were both new when I was visiting my family overseas...I came home and got em both. I love Duke though to this day

The Fifth Horseman 12-08-2005 02:05 PM

On my old x86 I liked to edit the user.con to allow a lot og pipebombs and tripbombs to be carried at once, start a new game on some level (usually it was E1L1), kill off all the monsters and then enter cheats to get god mode and then enter an all items cheat.
Then I was setting tripbombs and pipebombs all around. The nearest vicinity got really criss-crossed with laser beams, a literal explosive playground.


Xikarita 12-08-2005 10:36 PM

Was I enjoyed most about the game were Duke's lines... like:
''Nobody steals our chicks and lives''
'' S*** happens (after he steps on some)''
''It's time to kick a*s*s and chew bubblegum...and I'm all out of gum!''
'' Your a*s*s, your face, what's the difference?'' :D

Toxik 13-08-2005 09:53 AM

personally I enjoy Postal dude's
Mmm,smells like chicken..after you burned somebody

Blood-Pigggy 13-08-2005 03:07 PM

Duke = A lazy bastard.

Seriously, most people like him, but how many lines did the developers rip from movies?

blastradius14 13-08-2005 03:13 PM

Well why not? It gives plenty of entertainment in some non-brutal moments. Must go kill, kill....

Blood-Pigggy 13-08-2005 03:14 PM

Because those are Bruce Campbell's quotes, along with some other B-grade actors no one cares about.

Cabel from Blood had nice quotes I think.

blastradius14 13-08-2005 03:18 PM

Did you expect a shoot em up game to have interesting, original and thoughtful phrases that the game makers came up with? That stuff can take a while to come up with, especially if they need to be catchy.

Blood-Pigggy 13-08-2005 03:44 PM

Not really, you just need a substandard notion of stupidity to accomplish it.

blastradius14 13-08-2005 03:50 PM

Stupidity can make thoughtful, original and interesting phrases? Wow, talk about a messed up planet LOL

Blood-Pigggy 13-08-2005 03:53 PM

Uh yeah.

"Groovy"
"I kick a.s.s for the lord"
"Tasty meat makes me hungry!"

blastradius14 13-08-2005 04:04 PM

Wow, you think those are thoughtful? LOL

I think Duke's ripped phrases are better than that :D

Blood-Pigggy 13-08-2005 04:08 PM

NOTHING is better than "I kick a.s.s. for the lord!"

blastradius14 13-08-2005 04:20 PM

Well, I suppose its better than:
I am going to kill you because I am paid to :bleh:


"Struggle If you must, dead one. I do not mind working for my money..." heres a good quote that is similar, anyone know where it comes from?

WildZeppelin 13-08-2005 10:19 PM

Lots of people don't even know who Bruce Cambell is, and I know many others who saw Army of Darkness and couldn't even get famous lines from past generals in that movie.
Give em a break, it's just entertainment. Not history.
