Duke Nukem

Looks like my hope of about 2 months ago might be comming true.

Source code for Duke Nukem 3D is released under GPL

A developer in France by the name of Frank Pennaut is porting Duke Nukem 3D over to Pocket PC...

OMG!! If it is really released, it will be #1 game for me!!! Thanks for the info...

I'd rather have the original Duke Nukem

Man, that'd be awesome. I used to be so addicted to Duke 3D on my old Pentium 75. I think I wasted away about 3 years of my life on that game.

Tell me about it! I feel the same way.

I wonder if it will be able to import the same maps that were used on the PC version? Probably not, but you never know. I think I've still got some floppies around somewhere with my old maps on them.....course then there's that problem of not having put a floppy drive when I built this PC.

Most likely you will. Pocket Doom & Pocket Quake use the original .wad game files, with a different front-end to rework the GUI.

I don't know about that, at least not yet. This guy has this disclaimer on his page...

NEWS:

I've received many e-mails concerning a beta-test of my Duke3d port. Thanks for your interest in my work, but I don't need any tester at this time : The games runs slowly, and it stills many bugs I need to work on, in order to give you a try. And the game doesn't run by a simple "duke3d.exe" launcher. So I need to work a bit more to give you an alpha version. I hope it will be available (alpha-stage test) next week, first fir MIPS machines, and a friend will give me an ARM machine (Ipaq) to try the game. So the ARM version should be available too. For people who can"t wait ;-) I'll post an ingame video Sunday. So you'll see how the game runs slowly... But many improvements are needed; It takes time but I hope it will be playable soon.

Thanks for your interest in Duke3D PPC !!! DUKE NUKEM FOREVER :!!!

Cool.....Can't wait to see the vids, even if it is slow right now.

niitram · 06-25-03, 06:36 PM

i agree with emplynx

i would rather see the original duke nukem for ppc

Tom61 · 06-25-03, 06:52 PM

No wonder it runs slow, he's using an MIPs based machine. Should run much faster on our axims.

cageyjames · 06-25-03, 06:59 PM

I hope so, but I don't think this guy really knows what is up... Either that or he is spending no time on the project...
