Duke came to dominate the platform Steemit XD, one of the biggest symbols in video games in the mid 90's was undoubtedly Duke Nukem 3D, I still remember when I bought a pc magazine that included CDs of various demos, came this fabulous game, I repeated infinite times that first level that only brought, I really seemed amazing all the content. A year later a colleague gave me the game to enjoy all their levels and to be able to finish it, since the poor CD of demos was so scratched, nor installed the game, was such a success that strangely the Nintendo company decided to take their console port which does not doubt nor a second to obtain, of this version is the one that we are going to deepen in this post which was called Duke Nukem 64.

Graphics and Gameplay

A great First Person Shooter with an impressive addictive level, rendered in a mode that was called 2.5D because it contained Sprites in 2D but the level environment was handled with depths and heights that are focused in 3D (or so it seemed) , in this version of Nintendo 64 they gave several touches to its graphic aspect very interesting, giving a more polished visual appearance than the PC version one, of them was the Anti-aliasing giving a total show of srprites without sawtooth.

The designs of our enemies and bosses are very original, you can clearly see the effort of the developers in giving us a total gamer show through this game, the levels are designed in such a way that we quickly adjust to them, each of them hides many secret areas that to access them we must visit every corner and pay close attention.

Something to highlight and it was incredible to believe (personally I am pc gamer by birth) graphic effects look much better in the version of Nintendo 64, we can see a fluidity in the game so attractive, in no time there are slowdowns, explosions are seen Fabulous, to this day I am impressed by this quality of port.

This version included all the content of the Duke Nukem 3D plus the expansion Plutonium Pack and additionally 32 levels, with this is meant that it was not a simple port, were able to enter all that information in that small cartridge Nintendo 64, we have to this form a very complete game that will give us enough hours of entertainment.

But not everything in this life is perfect, right? Unfortunately the Nintendo company I censor this version, it seems to me something so absurd that his childhood policies of old would affect this great game, there are no naked women, no offensive words, no sex- shops, goodbye to porn cinemas, to the beloved discos Why the hell did they do this to a video game that is characterized by this ?, this was one of the aspects that disappointed me most (and not precisely because it is a perverted XD) , the essence of Duke Nukem was really this.

Something that depending on tastes will be difficult to determine and its playability, in this case we say goodbye to the keyboard and mouse (Which I love in the FPS) and play with the command of our console, I think it was a good adaptation and easy to play, however, when coming from a pointing of our mouse, it really complicates us a little "getting used to", but in general terms is not at all bad.

Music and Sound

I think it does not take words to describe this aspect, the music of Duke Nukem 64 is excellent, I was really impressed by the quality, it never loses the originality of the PC version, totally clear, apart from that his melodies are legendary, totally original, their sounds share the same, explosions, shots, enemies, everything is perfectly taken care of.

Final Words

It will be 30 years and Duke Nukem 3D will remain a legend in video games, despite not having these graphics today, it is really a highly addictive game capable of entertaining anyone who does not know, once really enjoyed it Exaggerated way, there was not a day that did not place this game until 100%, the last version I could play was the Xbox 360 in its catalog of XBLA, obviously making quite a few improvements but retaining its original appearance, something that does not I recommend to play the Duke Nukem Forever, this game filled me with illusions thinking that I was to relive this fabulous game and what they did was finish throwing everything to the toilet bowl, a pity really. If you have not played this game what do you expect? Spend a few minutes, you will not be disappointed.
