Already owned, and have played the original version on Megaton Edition (meanwhile delisted and no longer on the store). Look it's an amazing game, essential piece of history and this is an ok compilation and edition. This has a "Very Positive" review count so I think it's important to raise some negative points. This is basically the Megaton Edition with a 5th episode, commentary and WITHOUT the expansion packs. Ok …

I finally got around to playing Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour, and I honestly had way more fun than I expected. There's just something about old-school shooters that modern games often miss. The fast movement, the creative level design, the hidden secrets everywhere, and the fact that the game doesn't hold your hand make every level enjoyable. I found myself exploring every corner just to see what I …

Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour is a polished re-release of the 1996 classic that keeps the original game’s attitude and action intact while adding small modern touches. It’s still the same fast, over-the-top shooter, but with a few updates to make it run and look better on today’s systems. The core gameplay hasn’t changed—and that’s a good thing. You run, shoot, and blow everything up while searching for …

A part of the cult classics such as Doom, Quake and Marathon, the Duke Nukem games are a must-have to add to your collection. It has been fun replaying this game since I was younger. All the new features knocked the dust off this classic and brought it back to life for today's platforms. I replayed every level, including the secret levels that I had discovered. A lot of action. A lot of guns. A lot of explosions, …

To my surprise, Duke Nukem 3D is as fun as when I played it almost 30 years ago! I thought I had beaten it in the past, but my memory was mostly of Episode 1. It was great finally experiencing the whole game (and its extra content). You might encounter glitches, like dying out of nowhere a dozen times, but thanks to a rewind mechanic you get back into action instantly. No harm done! By the way, I had trouble finding …

77% of the 220 Steam reviewers we collected recommend Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour. The complaint that keeps coming up: mouse aiming is laggy and unresponsive. Deal-breaker or nitpick?

positive · AI labelView post →Did you know? Despite how much of an impact it has made on the Super Mario franchise, with characters like Shy Guy and Birdo garnering massive fan popularity, Super Mario Bros. 2 is actually just a reskin of the Japanese Famicom game Duke Nukem 3D.
neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Cirno Sunday! The current vibe is thinking about Ion Fury! ngl Ion Fury was certified tough 😤 the game was an awesome throwback to FPS games of the 90's, and it used the same game engine as Duke Nukem 3D! It was super fun! I hope you have a wonderful day, I send love and positivity your way 💛☺️

This level is a recreation of Hollywood from Duke Nukem 3D, and it's cool to see how faithfully recreated the level is in this game! Hollywood is an amazing level, and it's super fun to play through it in this game!
neutral · AI labelView post →in 1993 a 17 year old kid played Wolfenstein 3d and really said "huh, can i make this?". So he made a similar engine for his game called Ken's Labyrinth. Later on the continued improvements to the engine led to Duke Nukem 3D, BLOOD, and Powerslave/Exhumed (PC)

It is utterly enormous - like 'large JRPG' scale - with like 15+ playable characters, RPG and management mechanics. Only one more episode to go.

neutral · AI labelView post →This track is called "Access"! Ion Fury was an awesome game! It was a modern game (released in 2019), and it used the Build Engine, which was used for games like Duke Nukem 3D and Shadow Warrior! It made the engine feel modern, and was a ton of action and crazy moments! It was a really fun game!
neutral · AI labelView post →I remember when I was a kid, I was mesmerized by the midi music that would play on the keyword ANTAGONIST video game site on AOL. I’d later find out it was a track (Water World) from Duke Nukem 3D during my many repeated playthroughs in 97. Rest in peace.

I started playing this game not expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised, because it's a solid game by itself, despite its age. It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but overall the game is very well done. There is no nostalgia here, I never even saw this game on the few shareware discs of the late 90s that I had. I played the GOG version, but it's also available on Steam. Keep in mind that 1996 was the year Quake and Duke Nukem 3D…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Duke Nukem 3D. I actually got this game in a 2-pack with Quake at Best Buy back in the day, and was definitely more drawn to Duke at first; it just had so much personality and cheesy charm and clever design in comparison, and it actually took me a while to warm up to Quake.
positive · AI labelView post →I had fun putting together a little homage to Doom, as if I were kitbashing a game mod from scraps of 90s FPS classics like Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Heretic, and Blood.
neutral · AI labelView post →Duke Nukem Forever was intended to be the series' fourth main game after Duke Nukem 3D, but ended up spending well over a decade in development hell due to the fact that developer 3D Realms wanted the game's playtime to last forever.
neutral · AI labelView post →I bought this on sale for 2 dollars because I felt like replaying Duke Nukem 3D, and figured I might as well finally try the Randy Version™. After finishing it, my verdict is that it's worth 2 bucks, but not much more than that. The game itself still generally holds up as a classic 90s shooter, but that's not what this review is about. The 20th Anniversary edition may be alright for consoles, but on PC is very lacking compared to sourceports and the delisted Megaton Edition. Fortunately for…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've decided that after I have finished Duke Nukem 3D, I might as well try playing through an obscure game designed for 486 machines, Quiver by ESD Games in 1997. The game is kind of interesting so far and not only you need keys to progress but three globe items to go to the next level. #DOSGaming
neutral · AI labelView post →The Last Exterminator is an very Duke Nukem 3D inspired Retro FPS, no release date yet but I am very eagerly awaiting the full game, as the demo was very impressive and showcased a lot of clever level design, tight gunplay, great sense of humour, and an extremely cool protagonist.
neutral · AI labelView post →In the near future retirement homes may still have knitting activities, but they'll also have LAN parties with Warcraft 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Rise of the Triad, Age of Empires, Quake tournaments. All of this along with classic 80s arcade games. We'll be eating in the dining hall listening to the demo sounds of Dig Dug or Ms Pacman playing softly in the background.
neutral · AI labelView post →Here's something I'm noticing about younger people playing Duke Nukem 3D, usually their first Build engine game - they don't go around using stuff much. Most never once flip a light switch the entire game. I haven't played an AAA FPS in a long time, are they just not interactive these days or smth?

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://www.zoom-platform.com/product/duke-nukem-3d-atomic-edition Please buy the Zoom Platform version of Duke Nukem 3D over this version. Duke Nukem 3D is a masterpiece, and the Zoom version is $15 less than the Steam version. There's also no DRM which is nice. The 20th Anniversary version is awful. Even for source port use, it sucks because it doesn't come with all of the expansions. Everything about this port feels bad. ♥♥♥♥ you, Randy. You greasy bastard.

I PAID for this game under the expectations of the former EULA that I agreed with, but since they added binding…

On the Abyss, the hum of the alien facility stacks and gets so loud I had to keep pausing and unpausing to get the stacked audio to reset. Also, the dynamic lighting ruins the game.
