Yeah, and it's even playable without a 1dfx card.

My favourite game from that era was Blood - soccer with zombie heads, cultists on fire from a flare gun, yeah!

Doom got me into playing FPS and I played DN a lot back in the days. I still play FPS on a regular basis (just upgraded my video card from a GTX280 to a GTX570), these days mostly CoDMW2 since MoH and CoDBO have been overly disappointing.

The curse continues, DNF delayed, again.

Awwww - just remembered Rise of the Triad. Basically wolfenstein with better graphics and some really trippy effects.

Yeah - that got me occupied for quite a while, too

RotT and other games of the era are one of the reasons I dislike modern shooters for multiplayer. Something about the zaniness of them just made it a blast to play with friends. It was also a time when mods were much easier to make, allowing for even more variety once the base game felt stale.

Now it's all about "realistic" combat with real weapons, instead of shrink rays, freeze rays, drunk missiles and so on. It's one reason I am looking forward to DNF, and hope that it brings some of that back to the current generation of players.

Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold. Up next, a story about how Gearbox has redefined the industries meaning of "gone gold" to entering beta, and off to the manufacturers is now "gone platinum".

What are you talking about? DNF was already long since released.

This may actually happen before the rapture . . .

Have you played it yet? Is it as lackluster and offensive as everyone is saying?

I don't own it and haven't played it -- I just thought it was awesome that someone reserved it in 2001 and cashed in their discount in 2011.

Less awesome if you run the calculations on the value of that $10 in today's dollars, though.

Having played the demo, it's just as offensive as the old Duke Nukem 3D. The only difference now is that the game industry is much larger, and there are more people to find something to be offended by. The players of the last version when it was new are also much older now.

It looks like they didn't get the discount...
