Duke Nukem 3D for MEGADRIVE/GENESIS

[@danieltrevisanmentor]

Hello, I am the designer of this game. I can say that our reality in 1998 when developing this game was very difficult. There were no resources and this game was made by just 3 people. I will send a video that explains the difficulties of development and the opinion of the Japanese people at SEGA

Hey Daniel! Thanks for stopping by to watch my video - and I really enjoyed the video you shared. Would you be up for answering some questions - perhaps for a follow up video? I think people would be very interested in what you have to say! Either way - great to see you here, cheers!

Parabéns pelo trabalho Daniel! Duke nukem foi o jogo que eu mais joguei no meu neguinha. Mesmo sem entender nada na época, eu sempre soube que era um verdadeiro milagre, e ficava incrédulo com aqueles gráficos no meu 16 bits. Você é um MITO🦾

The ROTT firespouts aren't in the finished Duke 3D levels, but the sprites for them still exist in the tiles, so presumably the Tec Toy people grabbed them along with the other assets they were gonna use.

[@revenantevil]

You're right! It seems like the firespouts were removed shortly before release as I've found some in beta 0.99... and I guess they just left them in the data for some reason. Thanks for the comment!

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

They did finally decide to use them in the new episode added in 20th Anniversary Edition. The port itself maybe leaves a few things to be desired, but the new levels are pretty damn good stuff, they got the original level designers back and they're no longer bound by the restraints of 1996 era software and hardware, so they go all out.

[@O_Viajante.]

O fato da Tec-Toy ter participado desse projeto "bizarro", é que o brasileiro ama o mega-drive até hoje. Além da Tec-Toy, outras pessoas procuram sempre melhorar os jogos feito para o nosso querido "Meguinha", posso citar o Master Linkuei por exemplo, ele fez melhorias para os jogos da franquia mortal kombat, hoje chamadas de Mortal Kombat arcade edition. E fez tambem melhorias para os jogos Sunset Riders, chamado agora na nova versão de sunset riders arcade colors, e tambem o Teenage mutant ninja turtles.

[@RicardoRamosRetrocomputacao]

Unfortunately, everyone captures the game incorrectly. You need to use a shader that simulates a CRT so that the colors are blended, the game on a CRT TV is more beautiful, there are no vertical lines in the textures. The game sucks, but it is respected for being a great achievement. It was probably developed from what the developers found for free on BBCs. This is due to the following facts: Duke was relatively unknown here, as it was a new, modern, demanding game, and computers in Brazil always cost VERY expensive, EXAGGERATEDLY expensive (a modern computer in 1996 would cost half the value of a popular car) , in the late 90s, the average configuration of the population would be a 486dx2 with less than 4mb of ram, which is impossible to run duke 3d. I highly doubt that the tectoy guys would order an American copy to use the assets. So they must have just downloaded some demos and betas, and used what they managed to extract from the files. Personally, I think a 32x version running on the doom engine would be better, but 32x is very rare here, because it had a value outside the Brazilian reality. Fun fact: They were Brazilian, they made an exclusive game for the Brazilian market, but they did it in English too lol

[@RJCox-p4r]

If ya know how to code and shit you could actually just transfer files from another pc hard drive and use them. I made my 23 year old pc run on a new pc from a few years ago so you could just use files from another computer too have that option. To make my old pc work with my newer pc had too transfer some simple files like i had to transfer my ram files over so it would run and boot up using ddr4 ram and using a nvme ssd as the boot, and update msi and Nvidia files for those launchers. And it worked and had every file like it was on the older pc. Its runs like its new out of box. And yes i could use msi stuff but im already more invested in Nvidia.

[@danevileye]

I will have to disagree here. In late 90s we already had Pentiums 2 and AMD k6-2's at Brazilian households. Also, DN3D for the PC always was popular amongst PC users, it was officially distributed by Brasoft at lots of markets and malls throughout Brazil.

[@pedromascarenas]

@@danevileye K6-2 and Pentium 2 in family homes? You mean in the mansions of the rich... A mediocre 486 cost 700 reais at the end of the 90s (and that was exactly what gave rise to the term "486" to designate a bad/slow computer, people bought one because it was affordable, but they were surprised when they tried to access the internet on one), the minimum monthly salary was 130, the cheapest Pentium 2 (entry level) cost 2500 reais, a small one cost between 5 and 7 thousand (20gb HD, 128mb, accelerator card) , the closest thing we had to popular before the Positivos, were the kits with a PCChips socket 7 board, with k6-2 300, costing around 2k reais.

[@danevileye]

@@pedromascarenas I meant, literally the late 90s. In 1999 we upgraded our Pentium 100 for a K6-2 450 with 64 mbs for around R$ 750. I mean, it was not like PCs were cheap here back then, but it wasn't that expensive. I'd say things were bad from 1995 and back. It was around 1996 that ppl began being able to afford Pentiums (not cheap tho, just not prohibitively expensive anymore). My reference is SP, can't say for the other regions, tho.

[@pedromascarenas]

@@danevileye And do you think it was normal for someone to spend the price of a used car on computer parts? In 1999, only 2% of the population had access to the Internet, and computers only became accessible to Brazilians after 2002, mainly because of Windows XP Starter Edition (the Windows license made the final price of the PC expensive). You're right about the price, but it was 750 reais for the UPGRADE KIT, not the computer, and it was exactly the PCChips crap that made computer technicians rich (I guarantee you that I paid more than half of the installments for my Chevy Astra thanks to that motherboard).

[@MrJohnReviews]

It's certainly a very weird port, but an interesting one at that, the fact the spacesuit feature was implemented was quite outstanding given the original game didn't have, that is until Legacy Edition came and restored that feature

[@tabsntoot]

The hanging Luke sky Walker was added there too for good mesure very interesting

Fun fact, the original developers of Duke were Apogee. 3D Realms was just a marketing label they used.

[@revenantevil]

True :p I tend to use them interchangeably for some reason! Thanks for stopping by :)

[@d4t6ix]

It started as a marketing brand but the company itself renamed from Apogee to 3D Realms at the time Duke 3D was released.

[@Dhaos620]

That bug that occured when you tried to load the game only happens in emulation, in original hardware there's the message: "no save game found". The jailbars only appears with emulation, in the original hardware the graphics are smoother. You had to be there to know exactly what felt like to play this game back in the day, we compared this game with zero tolerance, another FPS from the system not with the OG duke nukem 3D. Doom barely made it to the SNES with super FX chip, it's silly to compare the game with their PC counterparts. What I always wanted to know is why the heck the game was made in english language if it was made by brazilians for brazilians.

[@revenantevil]

That's a good point actually... why is the game in English? And thanks for letting me know about the loading issue. I should have considered it was because of emulation.

[@wolfxx7297]

Yup, this has by far more in common with "Zero Tolerance" or "Bloodshot / Battle Frenzy" :)

[@SinaelDOverom]

4:01 Fantasy Star isn't really a 3D game, it's just static pre-defined animation of turning at 90 angle, and all the walls/doors/objects are completely static images with no 3D transformation required to make it really 3D taking place, just like the rest of the 80-early 90's dungeon crawlers. So nothing from that game could've helped them in making of Duke.

[@revenantevil]

For sure. I think the CEO was just a bit out of touch and probably didn't understand the magic the developers were pulling off. Thanks for watching :)

I remember pirates DOOM/Duke Bundle for Sega Genesis (China clone), In 2000-2003). It was in Ukraine, although such releases were rare, usually popular sidescrollers were on sale, other genres were not so widespread. It will be interesting to see the experience of Brazil, as I know the Sega era lasted the longest there.

[@Snup1995ii]

@@revenantevil It was an FPS, DukeNuckem, also met in the form of a shooting range (Duke stood in one position, we saw him from the back, and a level with enemies passed in front of him from left to right).

The game was meant to be played with CRTs, the quality of graphics and number of colors increase a bit, if you have time give it a try using a composite input. And in regards to what the Sega MD can do with grabbag theme search for a demo of grabbag being played within the contrains of the MD you'd be impressed, it is in fact far superior to the PC version

[@dreak-cz]

I never imagined that there was so many different versions of Duke3D. I played it for the first time on Pentium 90 Mhz, which my dad borrowed from his friend when our family 486 had some service issue :D I knew only wolf3d and doom2 from 3D type games and Duke3D was such a blast for me :)

[@ArcturusDeluxe]

Been watching your videos lately, good stuff! Are you sure the first level music in this is meant to be Spook and not Gut Wrencher (E2L3)? Seems to fit it better. I suppose the fact we can't quite tell is testament to the quality of the soundtrack.

I'm not gonna lie, I love that genesis twang of the theme song. Also, I'm waiting for the day that someone will make a pc mod of this version.

Hugely popular because it’s excellent in every way right on par with dos version a masterpiece you can find carts online with it on for sale. Hope one day it’s leaked in its entirety

[@roberto1519]

At that time, I remember magazines repeatedly advertising Duke 3D for the Mega Drive and I always wondered how that would be. At home, my brothers and I had the Saturn for probably 2 years and we had played Hexen, Duke 3D and many more. Only when emulation became as widespread as it became, in the mid 10's I tried this version and here is my take: The game makes the Mega Drive look bad, I say that because the console can do so much more, even for a FPS game, there are many examples: Zero Tolerance, Toy Story (first person sections), Jurassic Park: Lost world makes it hard to believe it's a Mega Drive game, even though it doesn't have a free roaming 3D environment, and Bloodshot, this is not mentioning impressive titles such as the 3D racing Formula One from Domark (1993). And others. The thing is, Tec Toy was a good distributer, retailer and SEGA representative here in Brazil, their products, specially up to the Saturn era, had high quality (and were very expensive too). But they were never good as game developers. I commend them for bringing Phantasy Star and translating it to Portuguese, specially Riven for the Saturn, which was dubbed with professional actors. But when it comes to original software, they always were subpar, to say the least, they tried bringing even SF2 to the SMS and that is a disaster, when that console could handle a proper developed SF2 professionally, such as Fatal Fury Special and Samurai Shodown are very impressive for the Game Gear (handheld SMS), Tec Toy released Duke 3D to try and push the Mega Drive a bit more, but this is a very sad effort. There could be a very decent, even if downgraded version of Duke 3D for the system, provided it's made with the right tools, time and knowledge. Have you checked Real Bout Fatal Fury Special for the Mega Drive? It's a recent homebrew, delivering basically a 32-bit quality game for the system.

The Genesis isn't equipped to handle a game like Duke3D, so it was inevitably be very different, and disappointing. I have however tried a homebrewed port of Wolfenstein 3D for the Genny which was extremely smooth and faithful.

The music in this game is especially regrettable considering the rock solid YM2612 arrangements I've found of Duke 3D music. I'd argue though you're doing the PC MIDIs a disservice by playing them on the OPL Synth, even the generic (and gimped) GM Wavetable Synth which has come with Windows for the past 20+ years represents it better, let alone any decent .sf2 recreation of the Roland SC-55.

As you said before it's impressive for the hardware and I think that Duke in Space bit is Cool AF despite its obviously using space as a floor and ceiling texture. I would guess the space suit item was just compensating for the game being otherwise shit. I mean if they have the means to improvise a lose-lose situation you might as well take some chances

When it comes to preference on if i call the megadrive the megadrive or genesis i differently prefer calling it the megadrive hands down sounds way better and it rolls off the tungh better

[@xanshark]

I always thought this port was pretty cool, alongside the GBA game.

[@ArnieMcStranglehold]

Those flame spouts do still exist in the game. They weren't placed into any of the original levels, but when I made some maps way back when i was way too young to be playing this game, I added them in a couple. They worked as good traps and I think you could align them to the ceiling too. But the music, ugh. Sega's systems were KNOWN for having good music. This sounds terrible. An absolute disgrace to Bobby The Prince's legacy.

If the code had included 32x and Sega CD it might have been able to look better

[@revenantevil]

Yeah, for sure! I'm guessing they wanted to appeal to the larger install base that the MegaDrive had. I would love to have seen a version for 32X or Mega CD! Thanks for stopping by :)

[@grandmasterthefuriousfive7487]

@@revenantevil yea if they combo all 3 cuz there's xtra CPU in both 32x and s cd... Might been able to pull it off But ya right in Brazil most only had the base system

What do I think of this game? Terrible, but impressive. lol

[@revenantevil]

I actually totally agree lmao. Thanks for watching! :)

[@Matt.Willoughby]

Pretty impressive given the hardware, I'll pass though. It was crap on the N64, crap on the PS1 and crap in general

[@bonzobanana1]

I loved Duke Nukem on N64 especially 4 player and it was great on Playstation and Saturn too. I also played the Megadrive version emulated and also had the Tapwave Zodiac version which was awful. I think there was also a version on a tiger handheld console at one point in black and white unless my brain made that up. Such a fantastic game when done on reasonable hardware.

[@nintendofan707]

Explosive diarrhea is more fun then playing this game. I still respect that it exists though. I just don't like playing it. Look into the GBA Duke Nukem game. it's pretty fun.

[@emersonguesa]

bizarre it was your mother that put you in the world... Duke nukem 3D for genesis is the purest quality made for the time so much so that not even americans could make it... AQUI É BRASIL PORRA!

[@revenantevil]

Wut

[@yearight5303]

Proving once agIn the Genesis was far more powerful than the SNES and its pathetic crutch chip version of doom.

[@Chillywilly8818]

The game plays like ass but still sorta admirable for megadrive .... Tectoy should have worked on the 32x

Terrible bootleg that doesnt even resemble duke nukem, few sprites don't count

[@revenantevil]

It's definitely not a great version, but at the very least it's an interesting part of Duke's (and Brazil's) history! Have you played it? Thanks for watching!

[@fabiomgm1293]

I would love to have played something like this for the Mega Drive just for the graphics alone.

Gaming in Brazil is expensive since ever, and Brazilians love videogames, and tectoy was here for us 🫡🇧🇷

[@revenantevil]

Is it still expensive even nowadays?

[@diegosalgo]

@@revenantevil Yep! The minimum wage in Brazil (stipulated by the government) is R$1320,00 (USD 267,32) per month and a PS5 for an example costs more or less R$4000,00 (USD 810,06). It has always been like that, unfortunately 😅
