Duke Nukem

Duke Nukem is a video game series named for its protagonist Duke Nukem. The original game was released as Duke Nukem during 1991 as a two-dimensional platform game, which was IBM PC compatible and featured 320×200, 16-color EGA graphics with vertical and horizontal scrolling. For Duke Nukem II, the sequel was more than four times larger and took advantage of 256-color Video Graphics Array graphics, Musical Instrument Digital Interface music, and digitized sound. The third game of the series was the first-person shooter titled Duke Nukem 3D and was released during 1996. One of the first projects to be announced after the success of Duke Nukem 3D was a return to Duke Nukem's 2D side-scrolling, platforming format for a game named Duke Nukem 4Ever. The 2D 4Ever was planned to combine many of the new concepts of Duke Nukem 3D with the old-style play of the first two games of the series.
