Duke Nukem, one of the classic first-person shooter games, has been, since the banning of it in my house when I was a young boy, high up on my list of games to purchase and play. Once doing this, however, I was fairly dissapointed, although I realized that I should have anticipated this all along. Duke Nukem is fine as a starter FPS. You certainly see where most of the interactive elements of the genre came from in this game. And the game itself is fun at points---but mostly all I was remembering was its air of mystery and forbidden nature. In reality, Duke is simply a pretty crappy FPS with some interesting historical footnotes in the way of video gaming. As an addition to your collection of classic games, it's up there. As one to actually play...ehh, not so much.
In its day, the Duke Nukem demo was a major hit with all of the gamers. Even Macintosh users were excited about this game and it ran well on some of their RAM challenged machines. I was reading a post the other day about a guy (old post - 2006) who was looking for an OS X version of one of the greatest games ever - Deus EX. He had unfortunately abandoned all of his legacy machines. I am presently enjoying Duke Nukem and Deus EX on some legacy machines (Macs) that I purchased on eBay and nursed to do their best. Some things will never be outgrown. I am also playing the Unreal Tournament version 400. Can't find anything online about it. This game, however, has evolved. My advise is to never abandon your old machines if they can still play your favorite games. You will always get a kick out of revisiting some of these games that were the stepping stones to what we are so engaged in today.Read full review
One of the greatest games of all time, perfectly ported to Macintosh.

I had to upload a program to make it compatable w/ my computer, but other than that, this game is excellent!
