Games like Duke Nukem 3D laid the foundations for the 3D shooter genre, eventually spawning incredible gaming experiences like the outstanding Tomb Raider, which has become so popular it's been used to promote everything from cereal to gambling in the form of online pokies - a kind of Australian slot machine based on poker. Check it out, I'm not joking! It's actually pretty good... Even though implied by it's name, Duke Nukem 3D is not really a 3D game. It's actually a 2D game, first FPS in the Duke Nukem series.
The story line implies that aliens have taken over futuristic Los Angeles, and there's only one man who can take care of them - Duke!
One of the best things about this game, which contributed to the mass success of this title, besides the variety and originality of weapons (such as the Shrinker, a piece which shrunk your enemies, and you could then step on them like they were small bugs), is the humoristic details throughout the game. Some of them are remarks made by Duke himslef (such as 'Damn, I'm looking GOOD!' when looking at a mirror), or even with monster behaviour. For example, in the first episode, when you enter the bathroom and open the door, you will encounter a monster in the middle of... taking.. hmm.. A CRAP.
Indeed an amusing contribution to the FPS genre.

Graphics and sounds are excellent, making the Duke theme a classic!
