Abandonware DOS title

Games part of the Duke Nukem series

Duke Nukem is a first-person shooter and action series that began in 1991 with platform games before exploding in popularity with Duke Nukem 3D (1996). Known for its over-the-top violence, pop culture parodies, and Duke’s macho one-liners, the series became a 90s icon of PC gaming.

Players battle aliens, mutants, and evil overlords across destructible environments, using outrageous weapons like the shrink ray. While Duke Nukem Forever (2011) had a troubled development and mixed reception, the franchise’s mix of humor, chaos, and unapologetic excess cemented Duke as one of gaming’s most recognizable anti-heroes.
