Gone are the days of inserting a cartridge or popping in a game disc and playing within seconds. The first thing I had to do was sit through 20 minutes of PlayStation 3 updates – a feature I loath about modern gaming consoles. As you can see, the requirements are quite high. It is available for the Mac – ported by Aspyr – which requires Mac OS X 10.7 on a 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo Mac, 2 GB RAM, and 256 MB video RAM. So I asked my daughter if I could use her console (as I don’t own one), and set about playing this highly criticised game. I found it for £3 on the PlayStation 3 and bought it. It made me want to take another look at Duke Nukem Forever. I downloaded the shareware version of Duke Nukem 3D for my Mac and had forgotten how great it was. I have been recently looking back at older FPS games – getting them to run on my modern Mac and buying games for my PlayStation 2. I remember reading review after review panning it for poor game play, bad controls, and offensive content. Never has a game garnered so much attention and anticipation by the gaming community – only to be met by such criticism once released.

It was available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and ported to Mac OS X and is also now available on the Mac App Store. Finally in 2011 – some 15 years later – Duke Nukem Forever was released to the gaming world. It became a running joke in the gaming world as development got pushed further and further back. ForeverĪ sequel had been in production for a long time. It spawned several expansion packs and was ported in various versions to different consoles and platforms. It was a fun tongue-in-cheek take on the genre with more concentration on it being a shoot-everything-you-see game, and had interactive environments, cheesy dialogue and sexist attitude.ĭuke Nukem 3D was a massive success. Where Doom was scary, dark and mysterious, Duke Nukem 3D took a different approach. ID Software had released Doom in 1993 and taken the gaming world by storm. In 1996, 3D Realms released Duke Nukem 3D – a first person shooter sequel to the sideways scrolling 2D Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem 2. 15 years in the making, Duke Nukem Forever brings back classic first person shooters and over the top sexism to the gaming world.
