"Duke Nukem 3D truly looks like a 3D supermodel of a game: sleek, sexy, and gory with lead-thrashing action."

Strategy Plus

"It's the ultimate game for unleashing all your pent-up aggression. It is the most astonishing game we've laid eyes on for ages! In fact, it makes pretty much every PC game we've ever seen - DOOM included - look slightly dull. Honestly!"

The scene is set in a futuristic Los Angeles, overcome by alien invaders, with a deadly purpose for attacking earth. The action shifts to a Huge space station and finally a moon base. Duke's arsenal includes the Ripper, an RPG, shrink ray (then you get to stomp the alien!) and more. You can run, jump, crawl, swim and jetpack through hostile environments. DukeNukem supports advanced multiplayer gaming and is full of surprises.

Have you cleared the streets of Los Angeles yet?

Did you tip the exotic dancers or did you blow a few away?

WHAT?!

You haven't played it yet??

Why is Duke Nukem 3D the best?

"Even running in super crisp 800x600 SVGA it blasts along faster than every other comparable 3D PC title. It's not pure speed at the expense of versatility either - it is possible to look up, down, or sideways at any time, with the bitmapped scenery undergoing minimal deformation and no speed loss whatsoever. The engine also caters for full interaction, so bullets leave pock marks on walls, enemy's blood drips down crates and earthquakes cause huge sections to shift altogether, thereby granting access to new locations. It all contributes to the feeling of being encased within a grim world as opposed to wandering through impregnable, static corridors. The effect is hugely rewarding and is surely the direction in which such games should be heading.

This potential has luckily been exploited too. So often games fail to capitalize on excellent technologies but each of Duke Nukem's levels are noticeable diferent, being packed with huge ramps, drops, lifts, jumps and cunningly hidden secret areas. None look the same (indeed there is often a significant variation within a single building) and there is always a feeling that there is a new trick round the next corner." -Edge Magazine

[quotes are interspersed between many in-game screenshots]

"A perfect 10!" -Computer Player "***** - Out of 5 stars" -PC Entertainment "In terms of graphics, gameplay and overall game design, Duke is better than DOOM. The modem/network play is far better and allows more strategy and variety than DOOM. It's time to make way for the Duke." -Computer Player

"The most astonishing game we've laid our eyes on for ages!" -PC Gamer

"Duke Nukem 3D truly looks like a 3D supermodel of a game: sleek, sexy, and gory with lead-thrashing action." -Strategy Plus

"Duke is armed to the hilt and ready to rumble." -Computer Game Review

"The BFG was a pop-gun, (it's) got nothing on the sophisticated hi-tech weaponry at Duke Nukem's disposal." -Computer Gaming World

"DOOM is DEAD - long live Duke Nukem 3D, could this be the greatest PC shoot'em-up ever?" -X-GEN
