Back in high school, I got my hands on the original Duke Nukem 3D game. I managed to convince someone on a bulletin board to send it to me over dial-up (remember those slow speeds?). Back then, there were no limits on how much data you could send in an email.
My friends and I spent countless hours playing and modding this game. I’m sure we clocked in hundreds of hours into it. I even created a bunch of multiplayer maps that we would play until we were bored out of our minds.
I’m a huge fan of Duke Nukem 3D, and I’d be thrilled if the updated version was released on GoG. I have so many fond memories of playing it, and I’m excited about the new quality-of-life improvements. It would be amazing to have a DRM-free copy of this classic game for me and my kids to enjoy for years to come.
(Don’t worry, the developers have gotten their fair share of money from me. I’ve bought this game multiple times since then).
**Why *Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour* Needs to Be on GOG — The Best Remaster of a 90s FPS Icon**
*Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour* is hands-down the **best way to play Duke Nukem 3D**, and it absolutely deserves a spot on GOG for preservation, accessibility, and DRM-free glory.
What makes this version so special? It’s not just a repackage — it’s a **true celebration of the legacy** of Duke. The World Tour includes the original episodes *and* an all-new fifth episode, **"Alien World Order,"** with brand-new levels designed by the original creators (Allen Blum III and Richard “Levelord” Gray). These levels are some of the most creative and polished Duke maps ever made — fast-paced, explosive, and packed with secrets.
And then there’s the **"True3D" rendering mode**, which retains the classic visual style while smoothing out the jagged edges and glitches from older builds. It’s not a total overhaul — it respects the original — but it makes it run **buttery smooth on modern hardware**.
Even better: they brought back **Jon St. John** to re-record Duke’s lines with better quality, and they added **new voice lines**, making Duke even more ridiculous and over-the-top than before. It’s a love letter to 90s shooter fans.
While there are other versions of Duke 3D, this is the **most complete, enhanced, and faithful** edition — and it’s still underrated compared to remasters of other 90s FPS games like *DOOM* or *Quake*. GOG is the perfect platform for it: no DRM, great support for classic titles, and a passionate retro PC community.
This version **respects the past**, enhances it just enough, and lets Duke go out guns blazing. Hail to the king, baby — it’s time this masterpiece found its place on GOG.
While the sound is not that good (weird mixing and effects ingame) a,d there is a weird delay when choosing a weapon using scroll wheel or controller buttons, and the added bells & whistles and the extra episode are nice additions to an already unmissable game that left a durable mark in the history of 3D shooters.
The new weapon is fun to use, the new levels are both challenging and very well designed, the humour is still present and it's duke with more Duke, what's not to like?
Now if we could also have the Megaton Edition so we could replay the 3d party expansions and TCs (especially Life's a Beach, which is a crazy piece of work that deserves more respect).
I know there has been some mixed feelings about this version of Duke Nukem 3D when it came out in 2016, but there were some good things in it like the music and levels for the 5th episode were fantastic. Unlike the original DOS version that got removed prior before release due to ownership changes, World Tour has never been brought to GOG. I don't think that it is fair for an iconic video game legend that helped pioneered the first person shooter genre often gets left out in having his legacy preserved for future generations to experience why Duke is an all time great. Duke Nukem 3D will always be a masterpiece of a game with the additional abilities of flying around with a jetpack or swimming underwater to fight enemies that most shooter games afterwards don't really utilized such features at all. Let's not forget that the character got his iconic voice by the legendary Jon St. John where back in 1996, video game characters started to become more alive than ever. If Duke Nukem 3D were to come back on GOG, I not only would want the World Tour version available DRM-Free, but I also want to see the original DOS version brought back as well, and maybe perhaps Megaton Edition could also be brought over too.
Honestly, who would download this iconic shooter from an abandonware site back in the Windows XP era and continue playing and enjoying it year after year? For decades? Definitely not me. But, if anyone did find themselves in that position, it would be great if they could finally step up and buy the game from GOG. It's time to go legit and chew bubble gum. And we're all out of gum.
When I was young, there was a cover disc that came with a copy of Boot Magazine which contained a full registered copy of Duke Nukem 3D. Knowing almost nothing about it at the time, I unzipped it and ran Setup. Jumped in and was blown away. I'd played Doom, Heretic and the like previously, but this was something else. I didn't know how it worked or what to make of it, but little me played the crap out of it anyway. Later on, teenage me got good and MAN this game kicks ass. Playing games like this led me to becoming a huge game collector (over $20k and going) who plays 13 major franchises on four purpose-built rigs. Games like this are incredibly influential to the industry, but even moreso on us the game players.

The story receives further augmentation in the form of nine new areas and sixteen additional quests. Characters such as Briar Rose and Scythe, who played only minor roles in the original game, are now given more importance and are included in certain main and side quests. Other character-based augmentations include the voice of the antagonist, Jack of Blades, sounding deeper, harsher and more demonic, and the ability to uncover (and resolve) the murder mystery of Lady Grey's sister. The updated edition of the game also applied fixes for certain glitches, such as the "dig glitch," in which the protagonist would move backward each time he used the shovel, pushing him through solid objects and sometimes trapping him.Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
