(It’s still in a box somewhere in my apartment.) When I had played as much as one could play, I began to wait for the sequel. The next six months saw me become completely infatuated with Duke 3D and its quipping, irreverent hero. The following Christmas, a copy of Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition sat under the tree. I slaughtered pigcops, looked with amazement at bullet holes left by my shotgun, and giggled as a washroom door opened to reveal an alien going number two.
After impatiently watching the progress bar reach 100%, I began to revel in the game’s awesomely realistic-for the time-and tantalizingly adult setting. The download weighed in at around 6MB, so it must have taken a little over half an hour to complete. I was 11 and three quarters, and I had convinced my parents to hook us up to 33.6Kbps dial-up Internet just to download the demo on the family’s Performa 5200/75. This is not like those quick/cheap Doom mods.I remember the first time I played Duke Nukem 3D. The sophistication required to make this game harder, fairer, and better is no simple task. If you have preconceived ideas based on the many poor-quality Doom mods that exist, you should shed them before playing this mod. This mod removes many of the unfair elements and then makes the game more sophisticated, which, in turn, makes it much more difficult. The problem with classic Duke Nukem is that it was unfair in terms of enemy interaction, placement, environmental hazards, and unfair weapon ranges. The RPG Ultra has so much splash damage that it is difficult to use safely. Perhaps the most unfair addition is how many of your own weapons can damage you. Plus, the rebalanced skill levels help progression feel more natural to the difficulty of the game. The extra life system helps to offset how difficult the game now is. You can also carry less ammunition for some weapons, and weapons like the RPG now have a physics-based velocity and a drop velocity. The mod adds a flamethrower, plasma gun, and the old alpha shotgun, along with adding alternate fire modes. There are legacy weapons and enemies existing beside new enemies and new weapons.
