Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Is Getting Ported To Linux

Yes I'm aware apogee was involved, I remember playing the games when they came out. I wasn't very clear with my post. I was questioning the I'd part.

ID was not involved in any of the Duke Nukem games.

Apogee is the legal name for 3D Realms and it was known as that before 1994. I don't think ID was involved though, they developed Commander Keen, which Apogee published, but Duke was done entirely by Apogee.

Right now off of gog http://www.gog.com/gamecard/duke_nukem_12 and then just run them in dosbox, I seriously wouldn't hold my breath for anything more than a dosbox'ed version assuming that Id/Apogee even still has that code.

Manhattan Project might be something they'd port though.

When will I be able to get the old school Duke Nukem 2D games?

The steam version can plays in classic mode via DOSbox, as well as a OpenGL rendere.

Ironically the eduke32 Gentoo ebuild bug report has been seeing a lot of activity this past week and I think it may hit the Portage tree very soon. I think it looks better than this new port.

He, I actually made a few of the graphics improvements in the HRP pack

It's worth mentioning that we already have eduke32 for playing Duke Nukem 3D on Linux, both with the original appearance and with enhanced graphics.
