I always thought Duke: Zero Hour was a hidden gem. I felt alone on that opinion but when I go back and play it, I came to a similar conclusion: that game holds up.

[@GloriousGandalf]

Aside from Forever, Zero Hour is really the only Duke Nukem I've ever played to an appreciable amount. I've always thought it was pretty great! I definitely agree that it's something of a hidden gem, though, because whenever I end up talking about Duke with someone, it's pretty uncommon that they've even heard of Zero Hour. I guess 3D sorta takes the spotlight, and Forever is always a talking point, uh, sadly, haha. Zero Hour is awesome! I'm glad to have it in my collection.

I'll go as far has saying Zero Hour is the second best game in the series. Having no checkpoints sucks though because the second level can be such a pain in the ass. Everyone I knew gave up on it because of Liberty or Death.

I bought the collectors edition of Forever. I had pretty low expectations for it and seen it as a 'now or never' sort of thing.

I just wanted to see the joke put to rest.

In the words of Yahtzee from Zero Punctuation, Duke Nukem has certainly put an end to all those jokes, if only because they’re now more tragic than funny.

[@markobighead3173]

Don't see how it was out fashion at all. Game played fine. Character and dialogue was as expected. The game was fine overall. Only issue is just the entitlement off people who taught they were owed more simply because it took a long time, and of course the outrage mob complaining over the humour, which is also likely why Wokebox won't make another one and instead are just relying on licencing and rereleases.

Zero Hour is one of the most criminally-underrated games on the Nintendo 64. I played both that and Time to Kill back in the day and there was no question that when ZH came out, it was an improvement in nearly every way.

[@RossTheAffimationAtheist]

You got a new fan man! This was an amazing video, I learned a lot about Duke Nukem. I played the first side scroller then the next one I played was 3D.

[@MFKR696]

Duke64/Duke3D is pretty much *the* Duke Nukem game, far as I'm concerned. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing Zero Hour on my N64 as a kid, but looking back on it, it really wasn't that good. I can still jump into a game of Duke3D and have fun. Not so much with the other games.

[@omnipotentnickname8918]

I also used to be annoyed by sentry drones in Duke Nukem 3D, but then I figured out how they're meant to be handled. Pretty much any time there's multiple of the drones around, there's also a door nearby that can be opened and closed. The trick is to get the drones to seek you out, but close the door before they hit you (you can even close them far in advance) and then stand next to your side of the door, pretty much pressing yourself against the door, and they'll explode on the other side of the door without doing any damage. That's how these drones are meant to be deal with. That, and shooting them. But, shooting them is like a secondary way. They're really easy to deal with in the way I've mentioned.

DN3D was one of the first games to use LAN for coop multi player. Great memories of playing with my boys. The hirez eDuke project has given all the old maps new life with all new OpenGL textures. Still a blast to play after all these years.

duke 3D was my first video game as a child.

I really loved Time to Kill as a kid. But, the biggest problem besides the clunky controls was having a map. Sometimes I’d find myself wandering around for hours getting lost, when it was something as simple, but then get overwhelmed/ frustrated to then proceed to get lost. I completely understand, it encourages exploration. But just having a sense of knowing the level size and where you’re going makes a huge difference.

A large game with time travel past present and alternate futures was a good Duke Nukem theme. Each time have an open world like a Witcher game map for medieval times or red dead style map for the Wild West and weapons and clothes from those time periods. I loved the Gladiator games in time to kill Ancient Rome would be cool throwing axes be cool to have swords too. I wish they would remake and upgrade the older games to modern graphics and better controls if nothing else.

My first ever experience with THE Duke, I was just a small child playing a platformer, jumping around. That’s it… First time with Duke Nukem 3D, however, I was at *MediaPlay* with my older brother right when it was released. He was checking out some CDs, and I happened to walk by the computer with Duke Nukem on it *while nobody was in line waiting to check it out*… I probs played it for an hour or so, until my brother came and got my so we could dip.. My next experience was almost 2 years later, when I got Duke Nukem 64 for Christmas.. That was the first game I found EVERY secret in, without GamePower/GameInformer/The Duke Nukem Strategy Guide. I knew it was different somehow, but wasn’t sure because I was so young… Used to torture my little brother in multiplayer AND Co-Op (trapping him while I went and cleared levels, laughing at him crying like a dick bag 😂, but it’s ok we love each other).. When my older brother went to college the following year, his roommate had a PC that was actually capable of playing Duke Nukem 3D (98% of PCs were potatoes in the 90s, fun fact) and I got to completely relive the TRUE glory that Duke Num 3D had to offer, titties, badass music, more gore and all!!! The 90s really were THE best time of ALL TIME to be alive and old enough to experience it.. I see my kidbitchass at that fuckin MediaPlay computer checkin out video game titties and rockin out to the soundtrack while cussing to this day, like it’s happening right now 😂 It’s a happy sad kinda feeling.

[@trueredpanda1538]

I have multiple games from the 90's I still love and play today. Duke nukem 3D is obviusly one off them. I played games sinch I was inn diapers, and duke nukem 3D was one off the games I played tons off before I even went to school. (Mom was a gamer and allowed it! 🤣) to this day, I own duke nukem 3D on mostly every console wich allowes it. (Obviusly have it on PC) but it's a shared spot with Doom (most likely the very 1st game I ever played) and Command and Conquer tiberian sun.

14:16 My guess is that's because the N64 doesn't actually HAVE a dedicated sound processor - it's all handled in software on either the CPU or the RSP (one of the co-processors).

Personally, I played Duke 3D first. In 92/93 I was playing games on my NES and Genesis and didn’t have access to a PC (a gaming worthy one) until I hit my teens in 95 where I received Doom on PC for my birthday and Commander Keen. I vividly recall in 96, that my friends couldn’t stop talking about Duke 3D and Diablo. I ended up getting them both and fell in love with both equally, but Duke 3D even more. We use to use the in game dial up system to call each other and play online (typically with just 3 or 4 of us max). We then found out about Ten Network and later Heat.Net and the world of online gaming was open to us forever. I ended up enjoying some of the PSone exclusive games. A total guilty pleasure I suppose.
