Trivia
On June 28, 1997, Duke Nukem 3D Plutonium Pak was put on the infamous German index by the BPjS.
Note: Indexed products by the BPjS/BPjM are illegal to sell or make available to minors in Germany and it is illegal to advertise for it in any form. But there is absolutely no law forbidding any adult to buy such a product. The only exception is when a game was in addition also confiscated (or put on the so-called "List B" for BPjM games), but this is rather seldom the case.
In this particularly case here, Duke Nukem 3D Plutonium Pak was just indexed, but not confiscated.
However, due to the fact that advertisement also means the presence of a product on the shelves of a store, the product will disappear from the public. But it can be bought in supporting stores "under the desk" (per request).
BPjS/BPjM = German Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdende Schriften/Medien = Federal Examination Office for Youth-Endangering Publications/Media.

Once this add-on pack is installed onto your original full version of Duke Nukem 3D, the game becomes "Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition" which can also be purchased as an all-in-one package. So if you get confused with the difference between Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem 3D Plutonium and Duke Nukem 3D Atomic editions, know that Duke Nukem 3D + The Plutonium Pak = Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition. Duke Nukem 3D Plutonium is just the name of the add-on pack.
