One of the coolest Games ever...

I remember very well reading in computer magazine about the latest game with amazing graphics, extreme humour and brutality: "Duke Nukem 3D". Then, a couple of months later I had that game on my computer - with the aid of a class mate who was one of the first lucky guys to own a cd burner. And it really rocked! Not only the single player mode was fun with all that monsters and prostitutes... we had the best gaming nights with the multiplayer mode! OK, the aiming wasn't really realistic, you basically only had to get the horizontal direction right. But maps were cool - one had even a moving subway. And the main character Duke was soo cool - not to mention his sayings. You didn't have to speak English very well to realize that...

This was about 12 years ago.

Now, at the end of last year I came across this article which sums up the endless struggle 3D Realms had to produce a decent successor for this really, really great game. As a developer I can understand a bit of what they were going through. As a fan I am a little bit diappointed, but I guess there are things you simply cannot do twice in your life...

Have fun watching the tech demos of the last version 3D Realms has been working on. (Note the legendary soundtrack!)
