#EDUKE32 SHADOW WARRIOR MANUAL#

The GOG release also comes with with a scan of the original manual as well as some other nice but ultimately unnecessary goodies such as custom wallpapers and ringtones. This was surely helped by the fact that the game uses MIDI tracks for its music. It launched for me on the first try without the need for any further troubleshooting, and it managed to carry me through the entire campaign with nary a glitch in sight. The GOG version ships with the game already configured in DOSBox and it works flawlessly. There is even a secret level set in the infamous Area 51, featuring test spacecraft and alien autopsy rooms. Levels span from restaurants to grocery stores to amusement parks to post offices to police stations, and the maximum possible amount of fun is squeezed out of all of them. Where the game truly shines though is with the Atomic Edition, where 3D Realms used all of the lessons learned from developing the previous three episodes to create the best Duke Nukem experience possible. In a world as perverse as this, someone like Duke becoming its hero seems almost inevitable. Duke Nukem 3D certainly does not concern itself with being highbrow, but it does at least succeed in pervading a dark dystopian atmosphere filled with pornography and consumerist decadence, something that helps to ground some of the game's more outlandish and obscene moments in context.

Add to this the ability to bring forth Duke's mighty boot whenever you wish or fly around in a jet pack anywhere in the level and the sheer visceral joy of Duke Nukem 3D becomes obvious.Įnemies run the gamut from mutant Pig Cops to alien Assault Enforcers that defecate in order to throw their own feces at you. The game gives you an almost limitless playground to let yourself loose in, something which is helped by Duke's large and innovative arsenal of weaponry ranging from classic shooter staples to more singular entries such as Pipe Bombs, Shrink Rays, Microwave Expanders, Laser Tripbombs, and the Freezethrower. Bringing the game even further to life are the dozens of interactive and often destructible objects scattered throughout the levels, ranging from strippers to toilets to usable video cameras. While not winning any awards for its take on gender politics, this backdrop does at the very least allow the player to explore a variety of fully realized urban environments that seem as if they were ripped out of real life.ĭuke Nukem 3D does feature some science fiction settings such as a Space Station and Moon Base, but these pale in comparison to the amount of enjoyment that can be had by exploring such places as a strip club or sushi bar. The game takes place in a near future Los Angeles which has been invaded by aliens intent on stealing Earth's women in order to force them to undergo bizarre and terrible experiments.

John provides an excellent performance as the eponymous Duke Nukem.

The whole experience is basically a gigantic pastiche of the action movie genre, and Jon St. One can accept these missteps though because his 1996 release was and still is such a corker.ĭuke Nukem 3D set the mould for the other two big Build engine games to follow, with it featuring a talkative named protagonist, vast and highly interactive levels, and an emphasis on referential humour not often seen in games before its release. There are very few gamers who have not at least heard of Duke Nukem, something that is made all the more surprising by the fact that his most successful outing came out way back in 1996 and that most of his recent adventures have been met with widespread scorn and derision from the mainstream gaming press.

I am also using the Tarball Archive option offered by GOG for all of the games. Prerequisitesįor this article I am concerning myself only with the single player aspect of the games I have not tried to use any of their multiplayer components.

But just how well has GOG done in bringing these classic '90s shooters into the modern era? " Build Bros" image used courtesy of Robert Treherne on DeviantArt. All built on the Build engine, these three games when taken collectively are often referred to as the Big Three, and they are now all available for Linux from GOG.
