Duke Nukem 3D - An updated AGA/RTG port for the Amiga by NovaCoder

Although it's rare, there are occasions when we miss out on the latest Amiga releases, which is usually because we don't get the news sent to us, or it involves a lot more than delving into the depths of a hard forum discussion. Well thankfully one of our readers has sent us a number of Amiga updates, with one of them announcing a new version of NovaCoder's Duke Nukem 3D AGA/RTG port for the Amiga.  An all time classic game originally released in the 90's for the PC and other systems.

Duke Nukem 4Ever - A prototype build for a scrapped sidescrolling 2D version of Duke Nukem Forever has been recovered!

Apogee Software certainly released some great games in the 90's, games such as Monster Bash, Bio Menace and even our personal favorite Duke Nukem. Well one game you've probably never heard of is the platformer version of Duke Nukem 4Ever. That's because while the game did start its life as a side-scrolling platform shooter in 1996 by 3D Realms, it was scrapped and became lost in the sands of time. We had the pleasure of playing Duke Nukem 3D in 1996 by 3D Realms and the misfortune of playing the first person shooter of Duke Nukem Forever by Gearbox Software in 2011. 

Review: Duke Nukem – 1 Year Anniversary Special by Cola Powered Gamer

Long before he became a video game icon, Duke Nukem had humble origins. So, let’s take a look at the very first game, of this legendary video game icon.Duke Nukem (or sometimes Duke Nukem 1) was developed by Apogee Software and released in 1991, Duke Nukem was one of the many Apogee platformers at the time. Created by a small team, the game was programmed largely by Todd Replogle, with the graphics and additional work being done by Jim Norwood (Bio Menace), Allen H. Blum III and George Broussard, and was produced by Scott Miller. Duke Nukem’s development was also helped by id Software (mainly John Carmack), who helped with some minor programming issues.

Duke Nukem - Platformer classic reviewed by DarkwyndPT

I think reviewing the first titles of popular gaming franchises that still continue to nowadays has become sort of a running theme around here, hasn’t it? Then again, a lot of popular gaming characters have humble beginnings, like probably the manliest character in video-game history having started in a shareware title. And believe it or not, I’m talking about Duke Nukem.

Amiga A600 Vampire II Update - SAGA Driver, and it's FAST!

As many of you well know, the Vampire II for the A600 has been out a little while now and there isn't one person I have personally spoken to that is disappointed with it. In fact it is so fast, that some have rushed to Facebook and showed benchmarks as bragging rights against the much older accelerators that even for their time were rather fast. Well today we've got another video for you from Modern Vintage Gamer, and this one is showing the Amiga A600 Vampire II through HDMI using the SAGA driver and playing work in progress ports such as Rise of the Triad and Duke Nukem. Let me just tell you, this is probably the best footage yet showing just how fast these games are running, something unheard of in its Amiga life time.

Game Genre : Action, Platformer
Developer : 3DRealms
Game Info 1: Duke Nukem is the explosive debut of the known universe's greatest high-flying, wise-cracking, alien-punching, babe-saving, gun-toting badass. A man who would eventually go on to become a one of a kind gaming action hero that would soon combine ass-kicking and bubblegum-chewing in a completely revolutionary way. Duke begins here. In a world ravaged by Dr. Proton’s villainous ambitions, the original video game action hero must rise against the evil scientist’s army of sinister Techbots. And although Duke isn’t exactly what the Doctor ordered, he’s exactly what the world needed.

Game Info 2:  In this sequel to the 1991 high-octane, bot-busting video game, Duke Nukem, the King of Action must blast, cannon, missile and flame his way to victory - a victory that would stop the secrets of both ass-kicking and bubblegum from falling into the wrong hands.
