I havn't really played this yet. but i was thinking about getting it. But what i really don't see is how people love this game but hate Duke Nukem Total Meltdown for playstation. It's the same thing. I know the graphics and every thing are kind of corny, but it still is fun to play. And thats what videogames are for. Im just saying that you guys should try it

good game and has replay value.

i admit duke 3d was a good game, but after playing it three times theres really not much to give it any more runs. the game compared to todays games has no story or plot. you basically run around level by level shooting aliens and collecting key cards (not like doom, because doom features demons and hell}. but what makes it different is that it has a lot of sexuallity in it and humor for kids to laugh by.

Duke ROCKS

i think it is a must game to play if you like to see thing blow up and different body parts flying off. I most like when duke says words every time a alien gets blown up by a rocket or pipe bomb and you see the strippers. A must game to recommend.

Action-Packed Wanton Violence, a GREAT Time!

Our man Duke is back again, confronting aliens with an array of hand-wielded weapons, fighting his way to the next level. The gratuitous violence is extremely cathartic, especially if you've had to deal with a lawyer anytime within the past 12 hours. An interesting aspect is that whenever Duke lands in one of these many scenarios, he immediately becomes a target for attack. There's an alien waiting there, simply to kill Duke, and that alien will do so if Duke does nothing. It it completely irrational, the way these aliens attack. I attempted to use the Duke character in a more tolerant way -- I envisioned him asking about the aliens, "Why do they hate me?" I looked for an option wherein Duke could form a coalition involving the United Nations, and dispatch inspectors -- and if that proved ineffective, give the inspectors more time. (Nothing will deter an alien from killing you like being faced with an inspector who has been given more time!) I worked with the controls to make Duke more sensitive, tolerant and diverse... but the aliens simply killed him. It turned out that Duke would always get killed if he did nothing, if he did anything other than kill the aliens first. It appears that when an alien is determined to kill you, then the only intelligent action in the world is to kill him first, and keep your own life and future intact. I bet I know who Duke Nuken votes for.

why so bad you ask?

this game has no soul. you just shoot aliens. like DOOM. The guns are pretty good and so is the AI. After playing quake 3 and unreal tournament, I coulnd't but help laugh at the graphics. Instead of the game i would suggest half life.

3d gaming is even better

the duke nukem 3d probably started the idea of first person shooters. It is godly weapons and enemies, though the bosses can be a bit tough. The game runs great even on my win. 95!!! A good game with lots of levels and traps. Only bad thing is the adult content. don't worry there is a password so that you can turn it off. Buy if you find it at a good price.

Classic fo'sho!!!!

If Quake is too dark and brooding, come over to Duke and have a little fun! "Come get some!"

Duke is a fun, fun, fun way to shoot your way through the bad guys. Innovative weaponss, innovative bad guys. You get trip bombs, pipe bombs, and the usual pistol, shotgun, chain gun, RPG, etc. But how about a freeze ray, where you can freeze and then shatter them? How about using a shrink ray, and then chasing them down to stomp them?

Note: If you want to share this game with kids, but you're a believer that kids should have their violence without sexual innuendo, you may want to use the game's option settings to turn off the suggestive comments, leaving you most of the humor and all the violence without the deliciously funny sexual humor. Or, if you're an adult, enjoy! (Stick a dollar in the dancing girl's briefs...)

Have fun, and enjoy!

NOTE!! This is an old classic game -- (c) 1996 -- says it needs a 486, or even a Pentium computer! It wants DOS to run. It may run under Windows, but I haven't gotten it to.

On the other hand, the creators are taking FOREVER to make a first-person shooter sequal (Not done and no release date, as of end of 2002), so this is your only choice. The other Duke games out there are side-scrollers, and/or made by other companies under license. Buy this one while waiting for the next real release.

Still the best game!

Duke Nukem 3d is very old... But still the best game, I think. Playing Duke Nukem in a Network game with downloaded maps from the Internet (There are a lot!!!) is damn funny. With the programm Build.exe (in the Goodies folder) you can build your own maps or edit maps of others. It's the best level editor I've seen, a lot better than Q3 Radiant etc.
