Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition (PC, 1996)

Duke Nukem 3D is a first-person shooter computer game developed by 3D Realms and published by Apogee Software. It was released on January 29, 1996 for the PC. It is a sequel to the platform games Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II published by Apogee. An expansion pack, Plutonium Pak, was released in November 1996.

Duke Nukem 3D features the adventures of the titular macho Duke Nukem (voiced by Jon St. John), who fights back an alien invasion on Earth.

Reception of Duke Nukem 3D has been largely positive. Reviewers praised the interactivity of the environment and the humor within the game. However, the game's erotic elements and portrayal of women have incited controversy.

Various spin-offs and modifications to the original Duke Nukem 3D were produced in the following years of the game's initial launch.

Plutonium PAK/Atomic Edition: The Atomic Edition of Duke Nukem 3D was released in November 1996, and contained the original 3 episode game as well as a new eleven-level fourth episode. The Plutonium PAK was also released as an upgrade package to convert the original release of Duke Nukem 3D (v1.3d) to the new Atomic Edition (v1.4, later patched to v1.5). It introduces new enemies, bosses, weapons, and changes to the script to make it easier to mod. Finally, the player can set up a multiplayer against CPU bots.

I purchased this product because it was the 1st video game I ever purchased myself and I pretty much played it non-stop for a couple years. Great action, guns, girls, aliens, and (at the time)cutting edge graphics - what wasn't to like! Obviously, the controls on a PC made it a bit challenging at times, but this game is an all-time classic! I had to go back and find a copy that still works to play it again!

The products that was sent to me was in good shape for the most part, although the glass case was damaged on one of the hinges. Otherwise, the disc works perfects and I am definitely satisfied with it. Can't wait to see if the PS3 version can capture the old Duke magic.

one of the most best first person shooter in the history of pc gaming, very enjoyable story with a big taste of good humor. this game can be considered a platform for newst first person shooter !! ITS A MUST BUY ~

The reason I didnt give this game a 5/5 is because it does not have any music when you play it. It just has sound effects. Unlike the PS1 version which has music.
What I like about it is- The last episode it has, it is different than the one from the PS1 version. Has good graphics for a 1997 game. Good Control, and its a funny game cause Duke Nukem says funny lines every time you Explode a Alien to pieces with Pipe Bombs or other explosives.

...inspired me to keep playing this game, due to the advange of free multiplayer buddies. Not only that, but for a 1st person shooter, what was noticeably different from Doom was the platforms could be slanted like a ramp. I know the game Descent had that, but was that considered 1st person shooter? Probably not because your in spaceship.

Don't forget that platforms could be put on top of each other like a two story building, believeably the first game to do that.
