The PC files needed are easily found on abandonware webpages.


I actually have this PC edition... interesting, indeed.

Wow, you guys must really enjoy torturing yourselves.  In this day and age, why would ANYONE want to play Duke Nukem at 320x200 resolution, let alone play it on a classic Amiga?  I'd rather stick a pencil in my eye.  You guys have way too much time on your hands.


1) Because we can

2) Because doing so often leads to a certain understanding of software/hardware mechanics and interactions which may not have been evident before, which in many cases also translates to the technology of today.  And if you're a habitual tinkerer, just might trigger an idea to make current technology better.

3) It's fun.  And fun is subjective.

Ask any car enthusiast why he or she does what he or she does.  Etc. etc. :afro:

Ah, I see.  One man's pain is another man's pleasure!  LOL

That's about right.  And thank $_DEITY for it, since if not for this spirit we would be without a great number of technological advancements.

I thought you were actually trying to play it.


I have to admit, I will play it for a few minutes, at least.  And most likely run it as a demo when I drag my system up to the shop :)
