I first played Duke Nukem on the Nintendo 64, I remember my brother bought it and we played through most of it before we realised we needed the N64 memory card to save our progress. so we went back to Goldeneye. But I played it a lot especially dukematch with the hilariously dumb bots. -ugh ugh ugh ugh where is it ugh ugh ugh where is it where is it ugh- so many memories. I loved the hell out of that game, I played the other spin off games on PS1 and N64 but I didn't like them at all, and it wasn't until much later that I realised Duke Nukem 3D existed and it was -uncensored- but getting my hands on a copy was impossible because of the availability of the game (I live in Australia and even now I have trouble trying to find a boxed copy) so of course yar har fiddle dee dee I got my hands on the game. But I was young and didn't know how to work with DOS based games and though I managed to get the game running at one point, I couldn't hear sound and the controls were not what I were used to (at this point the shooters I played on PC were Unreal Tournament and Call of Duty, the original one. Then it came out for Xbox 360 on the arcade, finally I was able to play it! I played that sucker to completion. eventually I found out the existence of Eduke32, then Duke Nukem Atomic Edition, and finally Megaton Edition where I played the 3 expansions for the first time, still haven't completed them though.
Well that's my story. If it weren't for this game I wouldn't know the joys of spouting one liners, kicking alien ass and gettin' all the babes. It's not a game to be taken seriously, and anyone who does is an idiot. It never made me want to womanise, and it never made me want to pick up a gun and quote popular movies, and I played it when I was barely in Kindergarten.
Happy Birthday Duke

My story of how I came across Duke Nukem 3D, I'll never forget. My brother and I had this CD-Rom which I think was either called 'Top 10' or 'Top 20 Action Games'. It had shareware versions to games such as Wolf 3D, Depth Dwellers (not joking, Doom, H. U. R. L, etc. We also had this other CD which had like 250 Shareware titles for DOS. That CD is where I played Wolf 3D to begin with unlike this 'Top 10' or 'Top 20'. It also is where my brother and I experienced (besides Keen, Skyroads, or Crystal Caves) the first two Duke Nukem games (1991 and 1993. They were tons of fun indeed even if we didn't experience the full versions of those to lil gems. .But all that changed when we came across. Duke. Nukem. 3D. on that 'Top 10' CD. Much like you +Lazy Review Games there was no going back. Episode 1: L. A. Meltdown blew my brother and I totally away! We couldn't believe what we were seeing. Having played Wolf 3D on that '250 games' CD. wow. we did not see this powerhouse action masterpiece coming! We had to get ourselves the full version. There it was in (I think) a Staples store. the full version of the game! :D. Couldn't get enough of it. Great times great times! Episodes 2 and 3 were an absolute blast as well. I love this game to this very day am happy to have it downloaded on DosBox. :D

I remember picking the game up at a local Office Max back when I was 12/13 and although I soon found out it was just the demo/shareware version on disc (the $10 price tag should have been a dead giveaway, but what kid asks questions when their parents are buying, I was still struck with awe by all of the absurdity the game offered. I guess I really could thank the game for my now rather strange taste in. well everything, since it introduced me to the true beauty that is camp and over the top B movie goodness.
As for the console games, you really weren't missing much, I remember renting Time to Kill for the Playstation and just feeling completely underwhelmed, didn't bother with any of the other Duke games released on consoles after that. Now with that being said, I think it might be time for me to go back and revisit Duke 3D in celebration, I can't even remember the last time I played it.

i can totally get that enthusiasm and getting your mind blown over a videogame, i had the same thing over c+c, wc3 among others in the mid 90s, good memories!
yet i had a different approach to it, even with those, my favorite games, i was busy for maybe 2 weeks playing through them. i cannot imagine playing through one game in one sitting, in my view it takes away from the game or the gaming experience, i cannot imagine those games have had that status and impact if i had finished them in one sitting
then again i can't understand people who watch their favorite movies over and over or play games multiple times, i never had the notion to watch or play anything twice, i could never value them in such high regards as i am if i did this

Wow Clint, you talking about your past with Duke Nukem and how it got you into modding, coding, mapping, image editing that laid the foundation for your future self today making videos really sits close to home with me. Your Duke Nukem was my Quake 1, and I started modifiying the game as a teenager, first making maps, then textures for the maps, messing around with 3d models, and eventually programming. That gave me the want to pursue college for computer science, which I then flipped the art switch in my brain and went to graphic design, to which I am in now, making videos as well. We aren't too different, stay awesome Clint =)

Man, your impression of Duke is perfect, damn.
here's a question for you (seems here's a reasonable place to ask) I came into possession of a dumb terminal for a -Microdata Prism- computer but hours of googling only turned up a manual and a passing mention in an article about mini computers. obviously I don't have a microdata prism and I don't think any working examples actually exist, so is there anything I can do with it or anything I can do to recreate the OS it ran and somehow run something on it?

Thanks to this game I learned a lot about computers, binary system, BSP, and game programming. It was very difficult to get a legal copy of this game in my country back then and I truly wanted to mod this game. My copy was just a game without any tools. I remember writing my own packer/unpacker for GRP files in Pascal, texture editor in QBASIC and -hacking- maps with Norton Commander and DOS Edit tool (I was like 10 years old back then.

+Lazy Game Reviews lol my brother and I actually got this game on CD when I was (I think) 6 or 7 years old. I'm not kidding! We had that impressive box and neat jewel case and instructional manual (though I don't recall ever having the mouse pad. Mom did let my brother and I play this game but was cautious. It's like if ever there was swearing, she'd tell us to not say what Duke said. Lol Great vid by the way. Duke 3D's the BEST! :D

what a fantastic retrospective, can't believe 20 years have passed. I also spent hours creating levels for Duke and attribute it to my later career in 3d animation.
I almost finished a whole episode, every level was made in order, so the last one was pretty sweet, the first one was shocking! inspired to finish it now.

Well said LGR. You're love and enthusiasm for Duke comes through as authentic and genuine. While I never got into Duke Nukem 3D myself (I had an N64 and that version was ho-hum, you've inspired me all these years later to give this game a proper play through on its proper platform.
Great video as always.
