John: I’d be excited if it were to have been discovered on a hard drive in the attic of one of the developers at the time. Is anyone actually excited about a new episode of Duke 3D? Anyone here, I mean. I reckon I spent almost as much time on that first level in deathmatch (or Dukematch or whatever the fuck they called it) as I did playing Doom and Quake. It was the first time I’d ever seen levels in an FPS that felt like real places - the cinema in particular - and I think it does fade fast, losing that sense of place that was the most impressive thing about it, but DAMN, it was exciting to play. I loved it back in the day and I still replay the first few levels every now and again.
The original Duke Nukem 3D that is, rather than the platformer that came first. Today, we've been thinking and chatting about all things Duke, from wonderful level design to wonky nipples and weird space tigers.Īdam: I haven’t played the World Tour yet, which adds a new episode of eight levels designed by the original Duke 3D crew, but I am extremely fond of the original. Years of development hell later, he also appeared in Duke Nukem Forever, a game remembered more for its delays than its eventual release.
Mr Nukem is actually twenty-five years old, however, having appeared in two platform games before his FPS adventures. Duke Nukem 3D turned twenty this year, which means it can get away with drinking hard liquor and smoking cigars in a strip club legally in some parts of the world, but might not think that’s as cool as it once seemed.
