About Duke Nukem 3D

Duke Nukem 3D is an action and puzzle game developed and published by 3D Realms, released on 19 April 1996.

Aliens have landed in futuristic Los Angeles and it's up to the Duke to bring the pain and show them the door. After the initial entries of side-scrolling platform games, Duke Nukem 3D introduces a first-person perspective to the series and turns the game into a full-fledged shooter with 2.5D graphics. Duke's arsenal includes pistols, pipe bombs, laser trip mines, Nordenfelt guns, a chain gun and various rocket launchers, but also his mighty foot to kick enemies. The game sports a high level of interactivity. Many objects in the environment can be broken or interacted with, such as pool tables, arcade machines, glass, light switches and security cameras. The protagonist is also able to hand strippers a dollars to have them remove their top.

Returning to Earth in his space cruiser hoping for a vacation, action hero Duke Nukem is shot down over Los Angeles by unknown attackers. As he sends out a distress signal, he learns that aliens are invading the city and have mutated the local police. With his plans ruined, Duke ejects and vows to do whatever it takes to stop the invasion, fighting his way through a besieged city and beyond as he uncovers the scope of the alien threat.
