![]() ![]() Gone are the days of inserting a cartridge or popping in a game disc and playing within seconds. ![]() The first thing I had to do was sit through 20 minutes of PlayStation 3 updates – a feature I loath about modern gaming consoles. As you can see, the requirements are quite high. It is available for the Mac – ported by Aspyr – which requires Mac OS X 10.7 on a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo Mac, 2 GB RAM, and 256 MB video RAM. So I asked my daughter if I could use her console (as I don’t own one), and set about playing this highly criticised game. ![]() I found it for £3 on the PlayStation 3 and bought it. It made me want to take another look at Duke Nukem Forever. I downloaded the shareware version of Duke Nukem 3D for my Mac and had forgotten how great it was. I have been recently looking back at older FPS games – getting them to run on my modern Mac and buying games for my PlayStation 2. I remember reading review after review panning it for poor game play, bad controls, and offensive content. Never has a game garnered so much attention and anticipation by the gaming community – only to be met by such criticism once released. It was available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and ported to Mac OS X and is also now available on the Mac App Store. Finally in 2011 – some 15 years later – Duke Nukem Forever was released to the gaming world. It became a running joke in the gaming world as development got pushed further and further back. ForeverĪ sequel had been in production for a long time. It spawned several expansion packs and was ported in various versions to different consoles and platforms. It was a fun tongue-in-cheek take on the genre with more concentration on it being a shoot-everything-you-see game, and had interactive environments, cheesy dialogue and sexist attitude.ĭuke Nukem 3D was a massive success. Where Doom was scary, dark and mysterious, Duke Nukem 3D took a different approach. ID Software had released Doom in 1993 and taken the gaming world by storm. In 1996, 3D Realms released Duke Nukem 3D – a first person shooter sequel to the sideways scrolling 2D Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem 2. ![]() 15 years in the making, Duke Nukem Forever brings back classic first person shooters and over the top sexism to the gaming world. ![]()
