DNF #1
Duke 3D #1
I've also realized that Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II are not available anywhere 'legally'.
Is there a way to get the old expansions?

I'm just glad I managed to snag that 3D Realms mega collection before they lost the Duke rights entirely to Gearbox.

I've known they were gone for a while but it is extremely disappointing because I've never had the chance to play either of the previous installments past the shareware episode. And I've really wanted to, too...

If you can find the upload of Duke 3D v1.3D on archive.org, don't forget Duke 1 and 2 are in there too.

Here are the links to the registered 1.3D Duke 3D .iso files.

Hmm. How come Gearbox Software hasn't taken them down yet?

After extensive searching, I think I can say with confidence that the only version of Duke 2 on there is the shareware one. Which is fine, and honestly I gave it another download just to have it again, but it sure would be nice to play the full thing.
Damnit Gearbox, I'm more than happy to pay for both games but you just keep sitting on the property doing nothing with it except letting it collect your farts. Even the old games that made the property popular. Make a new game or not, I don't care, but would it honestly be that costly to just shove at least the first two onto steam or GoG with a lazy dosbox wrapper?

Someone (illegally) uploaded an ISO file of Duke Nukem Nuclear Winter on the Internet Archive.

To be honest I don't care Randy not going to do anything good with Duke IP all he does and crap on it, Let them upload it.
#44 Posted 10 April 2020 - 11:42 AM
As far as i am concerned if a game/ expansion, etc can't be bought on any digital plataform, it's fair game. If they don't want my money it's not my problem.
#45 Posted 10 April 2020 - 12:00 PM
Randy have already spoken about the fact he could/would provide a compilation with the "megaton stuffs" along with World Tour, DNF and its 2001 build... but what if the legal way remains a problem for the expansions DIOIDC, NW and CDLIAB with the intellectual property shared by tens of physical and legal entities (if they have not got bankruptcy in the interval) considering 3D Realms didn't have the right to publish them from the start ?
With all the persons sue-ing for micro details concerning intellectual properties, it would be like a Damocles sword to not sort out this issue...

The legal situation has already been cleared up. It's been two years since he made those remarks.
#48 Posted 11 April 2020 - 08:08 AM
Yup I was there myself to read Randy stupid ass twitter messages about that.

Before someone says Randy had no choice. Yes, he did.He could have kept Megaton Edition available on STEAM as a freeware or as a low cost version.
Don't tell me it's not possible. I point you to Doom 3 BFG Edition and Doom 3 the original release. They're both on Steam right now.
Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior Classic Redux are another example.

The problem is, most people would just buy the cheaper (and better) version, Megaton, only Duke fans would have bought Word Tour for the new episode.
as as freeware? Randy? lol.
It should have come bundled with WT, heck, WT should have been an updated re-release of Megaton. No censored health cross crap, just keep what's already there and add the new stuff.

Uh, that's what was Randy said but he still said the copyright hell on Sunstorm Interactive's expansions stopped he/them to do so, isn't it?
But...I just feel that's just excuses for Randy/Gearbox didn't want mess with Megaton Edition/those old expansions since that's not their products and they went profit, who knows, it's just weird to me at all.

Randy Pitchford ruined Duke3D. You can't even buy a stock original duke3d.grp anymore.
#56 Posted 12 April 2020 - 07:39 AM
He had the choice he decided to be a dum fuck and go the stupid route and make another Duke 3D, What he should have done is kept EDuke32 on Steam since it had alot to offer.

Eduke32 was never on STEAM. Megaton edition was a far less evolved port when compared to Eduke32. And in it's own right it should not have released as it did either. For example the skyboxes were broken.
#58 Posted 12 April 2020 - 08:36 AM
EDuke32 was apart of the Anthology Collection on Steam

There were other annoying weaknesses in Megaton edition, such as updates making your savegames corrupted for good and preventing you to see the cutscenes in you had ATI pilots a bit too recent
When it comes to buy games that you already own, for either getting the 2001 DNF build or the megaton stuffs, I guess it shouldn't bother anyone anymore in the end considering how usual it have become, the most shocking one is :
GOG !!! I have the french version of games they own and tend to provide them these french versions, but do you think that because I own the original games and thoughtfully provide them localized versions they would allow me to get their updates versions so I will be able to spare my money ? Nooooope ! THey consider making me buy games that I already own is just as normal as the Scorpion stinging the relunctant turtle trying to save him from waters (ref : the fable)
