Alien bastards shot up your copy of Duke? Come get some for just $5.99! Even though EDuke32 is free, you need Duke Nukem 3D to use EDuke32.
Support continued EDuke32 development by purchasing a copy of Duke through us—it's easier than pirating it, you get immediate access to download it at any time, forever, and you don't have to feel guilty about cheating a bunch of people out of their share of a measly 6 bucks. Win!
Once you've downloaded EDuke32, you'll probably want to read our wiki page on installation and configuration, as well as the FAQ if you have any problems.
Support received
EDuke32 has recently received backing from a site called PokerListings. They normally do stuff like online poker guides, but now they're doing a campaign to support projects that contribute to the PC gaming community in general. They've selected us and we'd like to thank them for their support! Duke plays poker and so should you.
So, why is EDuke32 so great? What about other ports, or the original DOS version?
Touché. To show we're not completely full of it, here are several advantages EDuke32 has over any other version of Duke Nukem 3D we've ever seen:
It runs natively without relying on emulation of any kind
It runs at crazy resolutions like 3072x2304.
It allows you to choose between two different hardware accelerated OpenGL renderers, or the classic, warped software mode you grew up with
It fixes an insane amount of programming errors which were harmless in the days of DOS but are fatal with modern protected memory models; translation: it crashes less
It's been the only actively developed and maintained Duke3D port for years
It features Plagman's incredible "Polymer" renderer as a replacement for Ken Silverman's "Polymost" renderer
A huge number of new extensions to the game's scripting system, allowing gameplay mods that rival even modern games.
It runs the HRP with support for all features, most of which require EDuke32; no other port can run the HRP with all features enabled
Adds a full-featured console, including Quake-style key bindings, command aliases, advanced tab completion, comprehensive command history, colored text and more
Hundreds of code rewrites, optimizations and fixes for rare or annoying bugs in the original code
Adds tons of optional new features that make the player's life easier including modern status display/HUD, support for loading mods from the startup window, and modern, WSAD-based controls with thoroughly reworked mouse aiming
It supports Ogg Vorbis sound and music
It's developed by people who have been in the Duke3D scene since the beginning
It lets you play that game called 'NAM' you saw at the dollar store 10 years ago
It makes sandwiches
