Overview

Duke Nukem follows a loudmouthed action hero through platform shooters and first-person firefights. Blast enemies, search levels for secrets and experiment with outlandish weapons. The later games lean into alien invasions, crude jokes and scenery that invites you to poke around between battles. Representative games: Duke Nukem (1991): The original combines side-scrolling jumps and gunfire with destructible boxes and hidden bonuses. Duke Nukem II (1993): Expands the arsenal with weapons including a flamethrower that can propel Duke upward when fired down. Duke Nukem 3D (1996): Moves the action into first person, with interactive urban environments to explore amid the alien fighting. Suitable for: For players who enjoy exaggerated action films, irreverent humour and checking every corner of a level. Expect brisk shooting punctuated by secret hunting and experiments with the scenery.
