It revolutionized first person shooters, being the first to have a true 3D game engine (the DOOM engine was a 2D hack). In my opinion DN3D is a classic. If you have never played the game I encourage you to do so especially since JonoF has ported it to the Windows platform, and added a crap load of awesome features like OpenGL rendering, true-color textures, and MIDI playback and authentic sound mixing--see above for link. Even the original made in 1997 was absolutely awesome. For its time it had cutting edge graphics and amazing sound. Even by today's standard DN3D is a pretty badass game, and any game played 7 years after it was made has to be pretty good. I am writing this guide for my pure love of the game. I want people to find this old classic and enjoy it. When they have looked everywhere and just can't seem to find that one secret, I want them to have a resource that they can turn to. That's why I took all the time and effort to make this the best guide possible. Enjoy. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [1.3] DEDICATION To mom and dad for buying me all those Nintendo games. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯[ 1.4] CONTRIBUTOR RECOGNITION I would like to thank all of the people that contributed to this guide.

So being the old school gamer that I am I decided I was going to fire up the ol' Dos command line prompt game Duke Nukem 3D. There was only one slight problem, well actually there were two; I didn't own the game anymore and it wouldn't run on Winblows XP. Now according to 3d Realms DN3D is not abondonware, and they still own rights to the game. Now since they released the source code I don't know why they would claim that, but whateve. So being the model middle-class citizen (read poor college student) I did a search on Kazaa and viola! I found the game with the no CD crack. Well, that's one problem solved now for the other--getting the game to run on Winblows XP. Being that I am a computer engineering major and having some computer science majors as friends I figured that someone was probably working on an OpenGL version of DN3D. I did another search on Google and found http://www.mobygames.com/game/sites/gameId,365/ which in turn led me to http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/buildport/duke3d/ which just happens to be the site of JonoF's DN3D port. Now let's see. I have a sweet ass version of DN3D, a lot of time, and to my knowledge there is no *GOOD* guide on the net for DN3D. Guess I better get started. 5.5.04 Well crap. It looks like KmcLeod has beaten me to the punch, and has released a guide for DN3D. Oh well, the more the merrier. 5.10.04 Yea!!! I'm finally done and I must say version 2.0 is way better than I thought it would be. 6.23.04 Fixed the formatting so it adheres to gamefaqs standards. Also, made tons of grammatical and description corrections. 8.02.04 The only thing left to correct is section 4. I had it finished but I guess somewhere along the line I didn't save it so now I have to redo that section. x.xx.04 Well, I finally redid section 4 so the guide is finally finished! 11.21.04 Gah!! I just realized that section 3 is only half corrected as well. I guess I'll do one more release after this one. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [2.0] THE STORY Courtesy of the manual and 3d Realms website. The third chapter in the series, and the first with a 3D perspective (the original Duke Nukem and the sequel, Duke Nukem II, are side scrollers). This game, set sometime in the early 21st century--2007 to be exact--begins in a ravaged Los Angeles, which was overtaken by aliens while you were abducted during Duke Nukem II. Duke, upon returning to Earth, finds himself with another mess to clean up, and another alien race that needs exterminating. Duke is a can-do hero who realizes that sometimes innocent people have to die in order to save Earth, so accuracy of gun fire is not a real concern to him. :) Beginning "A babe, a stogie, and a bottle of Jack. That's what I need right now." Duke mused on his recent defeat of the Rigelatins, his voice raspy even in his thoughts. After single-handedly saving Earth--again--he was ready for a long period of lying the hell down. "And no more freakin' aliens." Just then, a white-hot plasmatic blast punched through the hull of his cruiser. Klaxons flared, warning lights flashed, and static filled his monitors. He flipped on his comm. "Hey, anybody out there? I got a little probl..." Duke started. Mayday! Mayday!" the radio replied. "Los Angelos is under attack! There are aliens everywhere, and they've mutated the LAPD. Is anyone there? We need help!--". The transmission went silent. "Great," Duke grumbled as his careening ship missed a skyscraper. "What's the problem with all these aliens attacking Earth anyway? How many alien races have to get their asses kicked?" Duke slammed his fist into the waiting eject button. "I guess one more." After Episode 1 "Who the hell are you?" "I'm Duke Nukem and I'm coming to get the rest of you alien bastards! (Shoots the alien boss blowing his head right off!) After wiping the blood and brains from his boots Duke explored the alien ship. Monitors showed a titanic alien ship hovering above Earth, with dozens of smaller ships off-loading green cocoon-like pods. One showed them up close: they all held women, still alive--just like the ones Duke encountered. Duke glowered in the pale green monitor light and set the auto destruct sequence on the alien ship. He stared at the screen once again. "No one steals our chicks," sneered Duke, "and lives." After Episode 2 Duke walks up to the dead carcass and rips the Overlords's head off. He then walks over to the bloody mess pulls down his shorts, whips out a newspaper, and shits down the Overlords's throat. Duke cracked his knuckles and smirks, "I need a stiff drink... a how... and, a soft-skinned belly to lay my head on. A nearby monitor flickers on, and an incredibly ugly face speaks an ominous message: "The moon assault Overlord has been defeated, as was our Battlelord on Earth. But while Duke Nukem has been distracted our main attack wave has begun its final assault on Earth. We shall obliterate all resistance." "Guess again, freak show," Duke growled. "Duke's coming back to town, and the last thing that's going through your mind before you die... is my size 13 boot! After Episode 3 Duke goes up to the alien carcass and kicks a field goal with the monster's eye. "Game Over" Duke says as the eye explodes. "My names Duke Nukem. After a few days of R and R I'll be ready for more action." A girl's voice is heard in the background. "Awww come back to bed Duke! I'm ready for some action now," she moans. Before Episode 4 A girl can be heard being pleasured in the background. A high level executive starts talking to Duke. "Duke we've got a new problem here. This video was shot by and undercover operative." A video clip with a pregnant babe strapped onto a bed and going into labor is played. "Hmmm, I'm going in," Duke quips as he dons his glasses. After Episode 4 "Die you son of a bitch!" Duke takes a pipe bomb swims over to the queen's carcass and stuffs it in between her legs. "It's time to abort your whole freaking species," Duke says under the explosion of the pipe bomb as he swims off. Next a screen pops up and a message is displayed: "Thanks to all our fans for giving us big heads. Look for a Duke Nukem 3D sequel soon." Finally, a picture of the Duke Nukem team (all with enlarged heads) is shown. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [3.1] WEAPONS There are several weapons at Duke Nukem's disposal. Each of these weapons can be recharged with ammo found scattered around the levels. Each weapon has its own type of ammo. For example, if you find a pistol clip, you cannot use it with the chain gun. Several weapons have blast radii. While determining exactly how large these are is as simple as looking at the user.con file this actually isn't very helpful because they are listed in purely numerical form. In order to make sense of them you need to relate these values to actual distances in the game. So, try getting as close to an item as possible without picking it up. Keep inching forward until you finally grab it. This distance is 844 (844 what I don't know), but knowing this value you can figure out approximate game distances for the RPG, pipe bombs, and laser trip bombs. Item pickup - 844 RPG - 1780 Pipe bomb - 2500 Laser trip bomb - 3880 ________________________ Weapon : Mighty Foot Damage : 10 damage per kick Pickup : N/A Clip : N/A Capacity: N/A Description: You can kick some ass with this, literally. Use your foot to break windows, vents, and other objects rather then using precious ammunition. You can even use your foot to kick while you are using another weapon. ________________________ Weapon : Pistol Damage : 6 damage per round Pickup : +48 Clip : +12 Capacity: 200 Description: A rapid fire pistol which does minimal damage. The pistol requires reloading after 12 shots, and while the reload is autmoatic it takes a couple seconds during which time you can't fire (obviously). ________________________ Weapon : Shotgun Damage : 10 damage per round¹ Pickup : +10 Clip : +10 Capacity: 50 ¹The shotgun actually fires 7 rounds per shot so the maximum amount of damage at close range would be 70. Description: The shotgun carries a far more powerful blast than the pistol, but requires reloading after every shot. The reload is automatic and is done via pump action, which is quicker than the pistol's reload. The shotgun is a powerful weapon at close range but becomes useless at longer distances (try shooting a wall from a screen or two away). If you get a shotgun from a Pig Cop, the ammo in it will depend on how many shots that Pig Cop had fired. ________________________ Weapon : Chain gun Damage : 9 damage per round Pickup : +50 Clip : +50 Capacity: 200 This rapid-fire gun is a good weapon for dispersing several enemies at once. Use it in short bursts or you'll eat through all your ammo in no time. While more accurate than the pistol it is still quite ineffective at long distances. STOPPED HERE!!!! ________________________ Weapon : Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) Damage : 140 damage per rocket¹ + splash damage Pickup : +5 Clip : +5 Capacity: 50 ¹The RPG will deal 2x the damage on a direct hit. Also the amount of damage the RPG will deal varies depending upon the distance it travels before it hits the enemy. Description: The RPG is great for dealing with enemies from a distance. When the grenade hits, it explodes with enough force to affect anything right around it including some walls. This weapon can take out almost any enemy except a boss with a single, direct shot. Just make sure you don't blow yourself up. ________________________ Weapon : Pipe Bombs Damage : 140 damage per bomb + splash damage Pickup : +5 box/ +1 single Clip : +5 box/ +1 single Capacity: 50 Description: With a splash radius 1.5x larger than that of the RPG, pipe bombs are great weapons for dealing with large groups of enemies. When you use it, you will see Duke toss the bomb. You will then see a thumb activated detonator. To blow up the bomb, just press fire again. There is no maximum range to the detonator; you can be completely on the other side of the level and still explode a bomb. You can use more than one pipe bomb at time. After you throw the first one select the pipe bomb again. You can now throw another bomb. How long you hold the fire button down will determine how far the pipe bomb will travel. If you want you can also crouch and Duke will roll a pipe bomb out in front of his feet. ________________________ Weapon : Shrink Ray Damage : 0 damage Pickup : +10 Clip : +5 Capacity: 50 Description: Good against Assault Commanders or when you're low on ammo. The shrink ray will shrink enemies down to a mere few inches tall. While an enemy is in this state it can be killed by either blowing it up or walking over it thereby squishing it with your foot. You can also shrink yourself for fun (or if you're just careless) by shooting at a mirror. ________________________ (Only available in the Atomic Edition of DN3D. To select it press the weapon 7 button twice.) Weapon : Microwave Expander Ray Damage : 15 damage per shot Pickup : 0 Clip : +20 Capacity: 50 Description: Similar to the shrink ray but opposite in effect the microwave expander ray shoots microwave.. expander... rays.... When an enemy's health is less than or equal to 15 the next round from the microwave expander ray will make the baddie grow and stretch until he blows up. The explosion, while not as large as an RPG's or pipe bomb's, is still effective enough to blow up surrounding enemies and walls (and you if you're not careful). ________________________ Weapon : Devastator Damage : 50 damage per round Pickup : +25 Clip : +25 Capacity: 99 Description: Hands down the devastator is the best weapon in the game. Straight out of the Pentagon's top secret labs the devastator--with its insane rate of fire, high damage, and no need to reload--holds true to its name. Firing two rockets at a time, the double barreled rocket launcher packs quite the punch¹. All out mayhem, or shot controlled bursts - it's all up to you and how much ammo you can come by! ¹The devastator does have a small blast radius which is equal to about one step- -the distance between the middle of one footprint and the middle of the next footprint you leave after you have stepped in either water or enemy remains. ________________________ Weapon : Laser Trip Bomb Damage : 100 damage Pickup : +1 Clip : +1 Capacity: 10 Description: A strategic device which can be placed on flat-walled surfaces (sadly however not the ground). After a second delay a bright red laser beam is emitted across to the opposite wall. Anyone or anything crossing the beam sets off a blast 2x that of an RPG blast and 1.5x that of a pipe bomb blast¹. Not really that practical for killing but it can be used for falling long distances (see the advanced tips and tricks). ¹Theoritically the laser trip bomb's blast radius is 2x that of the RPG and 1.5x that of the pipe bomb, however because it must be placed on a wall 1/2 of the blast radius is actually lost. ________________________ Weapon : Freezer Damage : 20 damage per frozen ball Pickup : +25 Clip : +25 Capacity: 99 Description: More of a novelty weapon than anything, but good for spamming. The freezer launches balls of ice that damage and will eventually freeze an enemy once its life is less than or equal to 20. Once an enemy is frozen you have to shatter it or else it will start to thaw out. The freezer shots will bounce of walls three times before they melt, but be careful because they can damage and even freeze you as well! (As a side note if you should become frozen, enemies won't attack you but rather circle around you, waiting till you thaw out. You might as well kiss your ass goodbye though because if you are frozen that means you only have 1 health left.) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [3.2] NORMAL ITEMS Normal items are used immediately when walked over, and cannot be stored for later use like inventory items can. Small Med Kit This item gives an instant boost of 10 percent health, but will not raise your health past 100%. Large Med Kit This item gives an instant boost of 30 percent health, but will not raise your health past 100%. Atomic Health Atom This item looks like a blue atom. It will give you an instant boost of 50% health. This item will allow your health to go over 100%, but not past 200%. Armor This item will give you extra protection against attacks. It will cause you to take damage at a slower rate. Keycards There are three types of keycards you can find in the game. These are red, yellow, and blue. Each one opens a locked door with a lock of the same color. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [3.3] INVENTORY ITEMS There are several items that Duke can find and use to help him during the game. Unlike normal items, these are kept until you select and use them. Protective Boots - The protective boots enable duke to walk in sewers, slime rivers, and radioactive material without taking any damage. There is no need to select this item as it is used automatically. Portable Med kit - This carries a maximum of 100 additional health. When you are low on health, you can select this to bring your health back up to 100. The amount used to do this will be subtracted from the amount stored in the med kit. Steroids - This item, when used, will make Duke run extremely fast. He will also have a very strong kick. However, the time of this item is limited, and once activated, can't be turned off. Holoduke - The Holoduke is an item meant to fool your opponents during game play. When activated, a duplicate of yourself pops up wherever it is activated. This Holoduke does not fire or move: it just stands there. This is a very good decoy during battle. Enemies will go after the Holoduke instead of you if it is closer to them than you are. The Holoduke has a limited lifespan, but can be turned on and off Jetpack - The jetpack will allow Duke to fly pretty much anywhere. It has a limited lifespan, but can be turned on and off during use. Be warned: if you run out of jetpack fuel when you are very high up in the air, Duke will fall to his death. Night Vision Goggles - The night vision goggles will let you see in very dark areas by making the area you are in look brighter. They have a limited lifespan, but can be turned on and off. Scuba Gear - Looks like a backpack with two air tanks on it, and is an orange yellow color. It has a limited lifespan, and is automatically activated whenever you go underwater. If it runs out, or if you go underwater without this, Duke starts taking damage after he runs out of breath. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [3.4] ENEMIES All games need baddies to blow up. You got plenty of weapons to take care of 'em so here is what Duke is up against. Note that unlike today's modern games it doesn't matter where you shoot a bad guy. Shooting a guy in the head DOES NOT do more damage than shooting it in the foot. This is too your advantage as you don't have to be quite as accurate. It is also extremely helpful on bosses and on Battlelord Sentries as sometimes the only shot you can dish out is at its foot or other protruding limb. Also note that sometimes as you approach an area you'll see enemies "frozen" in space. They won't move and they look like they're harmless. You have to move closer to enemies and "activate" them before you can hurt them. If you try and shoot them when they're "frozen in space" you'll simply be wasting ammo. This event happens most often with Battlelord Sentries and Enforcers. Usually these are the only two enemies that it happens with but not always. So be on the lookout. ________________________ Enemy: Protozoid Slimer Health: 10 Attack: Blood sucking Drop: None Recommended weapon: mighty foot It emerges from its egg case with a simple nervous system and only one mission in life -- to suck your brains out through your nose and leave you a lifeless heap on the floor. The Protozoid Slimer is evasive as it stretches its elastic body from ceiling to floor, and then creeps up your pant leg for the coup de gras. Get them before they get you. These guys are simple. Just kick and splat they're dead. As they usually come from groups of eggs try blowing the eggs up before they hatch. ________________________ Enemy: Protozoid Slimer Egg Health: 30 Attack: None (it's an egg!) Drop: None Recommended weapon: pipe bomb, RPG, devastator, chain gun, shotgun A nasty looking green egg. Protozoid Slimers will emerge from these if they are allowed to incubate for too long. No real immediate threat but you should kill them as the Protozoid Slimers they hatch are pretty annoying. Use rockets and pipe bombs to kill large groups these. (On a side note, it is possible to freeze eggs that have already hatched. When the eggs thaw out they will have become whole again and can hatch more Protozoid Slimers.) ________________________ Enemy: Gun Turret Health: 30 Attack: Laser fire Recommended weapon: shotgun, RPG About the size of a video camera these wall-mounted turrets are armed with motion detectors that will have deadly accurate aim. These things are pretty annoying. They hurt about as much as getting shot by an Assault Trooper, but the problem is they are usually strategically placed and by the time you see one you are usually surrounded by them. The other problem is running away from them can prove difficult as they automatically acquire your new position. A pistol or chain gun is not recommended because it's too inaccurate. Your best bet is to get up close and take a shotgun to them, or blow them up with a rocket or the like. ________________________ Enemy: Assault Trooper Health: 30 Attack: Laser fire Drop: Pistol clip Recommended weapon: pistol, shotgun The Assault Trooper is the basic alien ground assault trooper sent by the ruthless alien leaders to serve as the first offensive wave against Earth's defenses. These guards are generally brownish in color and wear green jackets. They attack using a laser pistol, and they can attack from the air by using jetpacks. Though moderately armored, some Troopers have exhibited high resistance to injury. Take precautions that a fallen Trooper stays that way fallen. You can use the pistol to take these guys out with no problem. Half of a clip, at the very most, will do it. A shotgun blast or a few rounds of the chain gun cannon make easy work of these aliens. Watch out for their laser attack. It doesn't hurt that bad but several hits will take down your health. ________________________ Enemy: Assault Captain Health: 50 Attack: Laser fire, teleport Drop: Pistol clip Recommended weapon: shotgun, pistol These enemies are the same as the basic Trooper in all aspects, except that they wear red jackets instead of green ones. In addition to this, Assault Captains have a wrist-mounted Phase Induced Teleporter Device (PITD) capable of physically translocating its user to any destination within the device's range. Used as a tactical assault instrument, the PITD enables the Assault Captain to launch surprise attacks against his intended human targets at will. (Sometimes you will notice that it is possible for an Assault Captain to teleport after he has died. This only happens if you happen to kill the Assault Captain as he begins to teleport. Once he reappears, however, he will die instantly.) Same as the Assault Troopers but these guys can transport. They'll sneak up behind you or disappear right before they die. Make sure you finish them off and haven't just delayed their death. ________________________ Enemy: Pig Cop Health: 100 Attack: Shotgun Drop: None, shotgun(+1-4), armor(+50,+75) Recommended weapon: shotgun, pipe bomb, RPG The Pig Cops are mutated alien operatives positioned to suppress residual human opposition and to police the new centers of alien power on Earth. Their distinct warthog-like appearance and aggressiveness make them easy to spot, but difficult to overcome. They brandish a 10-gauge shotgun and have a special surprise ground level attack. These characters have extremely high intolerance to the presence of humans, and exhibit blind rage when they detect human scent. Also, protective body armor worn beneath their uniforms gives them added endurance. These guys are tough to take down. Use a shotgun to take out these guys with only a few shots. Pipe bombs also work well against these aliens. Try not to get shot by these guys as it hurts--bad. ________________________ Enemy: Recon Patrol Vehicle (RPV) Health: 50 Attack: Laser fire Drop: None Recommended weapon: chain gun, shotgun, pistol This sleek and deadly anti-gravity powered reconnaissance vehicle is operated by specially trained Pig Cops for the purpose of maintaining alien control in areas of human resistance. The attack mode of this craft is aerial strafing by side mounted laser cannons. The pilots of these craft are protected by an automatic pilot ejection mechanism that activates milliseconds before impact during a crash. These things aren't that tough. Usually you can't just run right by them without any problems. If you do have to fight one though keep moving and blast 'em with until you blow the vehicle up and the piggy falls out. ________________________ Enemy: Enforcer Health: 100 Attack: Chain gun, green slime attack Drop: Chain gun, chain gun ammo Recommended weapon: shotgun, pipe bomb, RPG With chain gun blazing, the armored Enforcer can make fast business of dispatching any remaining human opposition. Powerful hind legs enable the Enforcer to leap to many places where an unsuspecting Duke may be caught of guard... so beware. Enforcers are bad news. Their chain gun cannons are hard to dodge, they are fast moving, and are pretty strong. Your best bet is to play corner tag with these aliens and blast them with the shotgun. If there is a group of them use the RPG or pipe bombs to quickly get rid of them. Try to avoid a direct confrontation with one of these aliens as a few shots of their chain gun will leave you looking for the nearest med kit. ________________________ Enemy: Sentry Drone Health: 150 Attack: Self destruct Drop: None Recommended weapon: shotgun, chain gun Mechanized death -- there's no better way to describe these airborne alien watchdogs. By the time you hear their high pitched whine as they engage their anti-grav propulsion units, it's probably too late. The drone will swiftly collide with its target and explode with great force. Latest intel suggests that the drones have been refitted with defensive evasion microchips. God these guys are annoying! They take a lot of ammunition to kill and you can't use the shrink ray, RPG, or freezer as they will simple dodge it. You can try to have them come at you and then when they beep duck around the corner, but you will still probably take partial damage. Your best bet is to simply run from these guys. If you have to kill them open a door, fire a couple shots to engage them, and then quickly close the door. If you're lucky the drone will charge at you and blow itself up as the door is closing. If you're out in the open the shotgun or chain gun works pretty well. ________________________ Enemy: Protector Drone Health: 150 Attack: Shrink attack, claws Drop: None Recommended weapon: RPG, devastator, shotgun, chain gun Fast moving, high jumping, shrink attacking, clawing baddies. These new aliens are evil in every sense of the word, taking nearly twice the damage of a Pig Cop; don't expect these guys to fall fast. These guys are easy as long as you don't get close to them. A rocket or two will take these aliens out. A couple of shotgun blasts also works but the RPG is recommended. ________________________ Enemy: Octabrain Health: 175 Attack: Fireball, teeth/claws Drop: None Recommended weapon: All This character's abundant brain mass and specialized trifocal vision combine to make the Octabrain a formidable alien weapon against all sentient life on Earth. Their method of attack is a powerful blast of mental energy released against its prey, thus weakening and confusing its intended victim. If the victim doesn't die from the mind blast, the Octabrain's powerful razor sharp teeth are ready to finish the job. The Octabrain prefers dark and secluded habitats from which to wage its attack. Their immense mental power is offset by a generally unprotected, though tough and leathery, body. These guys are generally pretty easy. You can take them out with your pistol if you have to but more firepower is usually better. Just keep shooting them from afar and don't let them close in on you. Their "fireball" is slow moving and thus very easy to move. Just don't let it hit you or your going to be in a helluva lot of pain. Also don't get close to them because their claws will rip you to shreds. ________________________ Enemy: Assault Commander Health: 350 Attack: Spin attack, rockets Drop: None, rockets Recommended weapon: shrink ray, microwave expander ray, RPG, devastator The free-floating Assault Commander knows how to throw his weight around as he engages his anti-grav spin-deck in your face. When at greater distances, he fires deadly rockets from his rear port which dangles below his anti-grav spin- deck. These guys are tough but their rockets are pretty easy to dodge. Don't' get close or you're in for a world of hurt. Try to fight them in an open area and you shouldn't have a problem. ________________________ Enemy: Pig Cop Tank Health: 800ish Attack: Quadruple side mounted chain guns, rapid laser fire, grenades Drop: None Recommended weapon: running, self-destruct, RPG, devastator These heavily armored riot tanks can take a lot of damage before they finally explode and an angered Pig Cop pops out aiming a shotgun right at your face. These guys are tough--real tough--but they do have a weakness. On the back of them is a self-destruct switch. Press it and you'll hear a beeping noise. Start running like hell because he's gonna blow! ________________________ Enemy: Battlelord Sentries Health: 1000 Attack: Gattling gun, grenades Drop: None Recommended weapon: running, RPG, devastator These guys are the absolute hardest regular enemies in the entire game. They look exactly like the Battlelord boss but are thankfully not as strong. These guys can kick your ass in less than 2 seconds. If you see one of these baddies walking around run like hell. Avoid them at all cost. If you do have to fight one you better have the devastator or the RPG. Shoot 'em with the RPG about 7 times and they'll fall or light their ass up with the devastator. What makes these guys so hard is their chain gun attack. Get in the line of fire of that thing and you'll be gone. You're best bet if you have to fight one is to try and get it stuck on a wall. It will try and shoot at you through the wall but won't be able to hit you. Fire away at any protruding limb and he'll fall in no time. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [3.5] BOSSES You'll know when you meet one of these guys. The bosses in Duke Nukem can be extremely hard. My hope is that I can shed some light on the best way to beat some of these seemingly impossible aliens. ________________________ Enemy: Battlelord Health: 4500 Attack: Gattling gun, grenades The hulking Overlord commands the alien attack forces on Earth and makes the very ground he strides upon tremble. His deafening roar splits the air as his rapid fire artillery and mortar rounds tear your body asunder. He has no known weaknesses... only relentless attacking will make Duke prevail. This is one of the hardest bosses to kill if you fight him normally. I have beat him without using the below strategy but it's very hard. Give it a shot. He's tough so expect to die numerous times before you kill him. If all else fails tries my strategy: There are two triggers in the boss room: the trigger that closes the door and the trigger that engages arrival of the boss. Both triggers are individual and are not connected. What you must do is carefully approach the med kit in the center of the room and look at the floor around it from various angles. You should see a thin strip on the floor beginning a little before the med kit and ending just at the end of the corridor leading to the circular area. Go back and jump this strip (or fly over it with the jetpack). The door will remain open but the boss will come out. This is what you want. If possible snag the atomic health atoms and then jump over the strip and get out the door. The Battlelord will try to follow you but will get stuck on the door. Start pelting him with some rockets. Don't worry about the bombs that he is throwing they won't go past the door. Keep firing until he's dead; if you run out of rockets use whatever else you have available. While he seems to never run out of health you can prevail. ________________________ Enemy: Overlord Health: 4500 Attack: Little is known about this alien biological weapon except that it is capable of unleashing powerful rocket attacks from its surgically implanted dual launching system on its massive back. This boss is the biggest pansy ever. Open the door to release him and then while circle strafing unload on him with the RPG or devastator. ________________________ Enemy: The Cycloid Emperor Health: 4500 Attack: Dual rocket launchers The ultimate leader of the alien attack force. No human has managed to get close enough to report on it and live. Extreme caution is urged. This boss can be really tough seeing how it only takes one of his rockets to kill you. There is a trick to beating him however. The first thing you should do is go directly for the devastator. Next get the RPG and finally the shotgun. Be sure to stay on the outer platform _all_ the time when you are getting the guns. The only time you shouldn't be here is in the beginning when you come up from the elevator. Also don't worry about any of the other enemies your only concern is the emperor. Once you have those 3 weapons start firing on the emperor. He'll shoot a few (or about 20...) rockets at you. Dodge them and position yourself behind one of the football goalpost (still on that upper ledge!) Let the emperor walk towards you. Once he gets to the yellow goal post start shooting like crazy at him. If you've done this right the emperor will continuously fire rockets at you from both "hands" but one of his hands will be blocked by the goal post and the rockets will blow up in his face. The other hand will keep firing but the rockets should blow right by you. Your other option is get the RPG first and simply get DIRECTLY in front of the emperor and relatively far away from him. Once you do that start lighting his ass up. The emperor will start going crazy with rockets but what should happen is the rockets will either pass to either your right or left side). You can just sit still and keep pelting him with rockets until he dies. The only thing you have to make sure of is that you're not close to a wall. If you are the rockets will go flying by you and explode when they hit the wall thus turning Duke into a flaming torch. ________________________ Enemy: The Alien Queen Health: 6000 Attack: Electric shock, instant death via stepping on you, makes protector drones The leader of the alien race. It is rumored that she lives in the water and produces the eggs that makes the alien race thrive. She must be destroyed if the aliens are to be destroyed. This boss seems impossible to beat at first. Protector drones are all over the place, a couple of Octabrains are swimming around, when the Queen isn't making more protector drones she attacks with an electrical charge that hurts you anywhere within her lair, and the battle is underwater. Yep that's definitely fair. If you are tired of getting your ass kick by this bitch keep reading. First make sure you have the devastator with full ammo, the RPG with at least a few rockets, and about 20% left on your scuba gear. (If you don't have the scuba gear don't worry about it because there are air holes in the ceiling of her lair.) Also make sure you grab the atomic health atoms before you enter the lair. Now... swim into the lair and kill the Octabrains ignoring the Queen and the Protector Drones. If the Queen comes out from underneath the lower ceiling swim up to the very top of the upper ceiling, face the queen and start firing away--you're safe from everything except the Queen's unavoidable electric attack. If the Queen stays underneath the lower ceiling this is less favorable but still manageable. Swim to the very top of the lower ceiling and start firing at the Queen. Although you are just out of harms way from the Protector Drones you can still accidentally hit one of them with a rocket or some devastator fire even if you aren't aiming at them. Again you are still prone to the Queen's electric shock attack but don't worry about it. Just keep firing and you will prevail. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [4.0] SECRETS Please note I tried my best to explain very clearly where all the secret areas are. Keep in mind however that this DN3D is just that 3 dimensional so describing how to get to some place can be very challenging. I feel I've done my best and the below information should at the very least point you in the right direction of where to find the secret. From what I have read and observed it is my understanding that a level's par time is the amount of time it should take you to complete a level. Note that unlike doom the par time does not include extra time to find all the secrets nor does it include time for killing all the enemies on the level. So if you're trying to do both of those and still get under par time it is probably not possible. 3DRealms' time is the fastest time for that level. It is going from the start to the finish of the level without any regard for enemies or secrets. If you can beat a 3DRealms' time your damn good at that level. There are lots of 3DRealms' times that even I can't beat, albeit because I hate certain levels and don't want to practice them, but nonetheless I still haven't beaten them. Just for fun I have listed my best times on some levels. They are all faster than the 3dRealms' times and some of them require thinking outside the box. Feel free to try and beat them. Keep in mind, however, that no items were brought from previous levels. The number of enemies counted on each level is the number of enemies that appear on the "Come get some" difficulty level (providing you haven't done something stupid like kill a stripper, in which case the maximum enemy count gets raised). The reason I have selected this difficulty level is because on the "Damn I'm good" difficulty enemies respawn so it's possible to kill more enemies than the maximum amount on the level!

From the beginning of the level go left until you come to the alley, notice the barrel. Opposite the barrel is a T-shaped wall. Directly under the yellow stripe on the wall is a secret air vent which leads to the food fryer room (near the red key). If you are a cheater you can simply use the jetpack to get into the secret. If you're not, then you've got to lure a pig cop DIRECTLY next to wall and in the EXACT center of the 'T'. (The reason he must be right up against the wall is due to the way the game physics work when you are jumping off of enemies.) Once the pig cop is in position, jump onto him and then into the secret room. Inside you will find a box of pipe bombs, a portable med kit, steroids, and some expander ammo. 2. In the red key room, press the switch on the lower left portion of the desk to open a compartment above the crates in the room. Pick up the freezer. 3.

Anyways, again in One-Eyed Pete's Shooting Gallery, shoot second and fourth targets to gain access to the prize booth. Inside you'll find the red key, armor, and night vision goggles. 3. In Babes of the Caribbean, take a boat and get off at the first jail cell-- it's the morbid one with the pirate offering his own arm to the dog with the key. Shoot the crack behind the dog to get a box of RPG ammo. 4. This secret is very cleverly designed. Remember that big air vent to the left of the entrance to Babes of the Caribbean? Inside is an atomic health atom that you can see but can't get to--very annoying. Well, at the end of the Babes of the Caribbean ride is the large pirate ship. Get on shore and look at the ship. On the far upper right wall is a video camera. Sort of a strange place for one don't you think? Jetpack up the camera and enter the false wall to the right and where the wall angles inward. Viola! You are now in the air vent and can collect that atomic health atom. =) ________________________ Level 5: Pigsty Par Time: 02:02 3DRealm' Time: 01:01 Enemies: 45 Total Secrets: 5 1.

After you have detonated the pipe bomb jump through the black panel. Inside you will find the RPG, pipe bombs, and devastator. 3. After you have raised the water and swam over to the connecting room, press the switch to lower the water again. You'll reveal the shrinker. ________________________ Level 8: Critical Mass Par Time: 03:18 3DRealm' Time: 01:59 Enemies: 42 Total Secrets: 4 ________________________ 1.

In the room after the crushing walls, use the computer to open a compartment with the portable med kit in it. 3. Blow up the canisters in the large rotating pillar room to get the RPG. 4.

In the blue key door room, jump over the counter to the back area. Before you go in the door press the computer monitor (which is really a switch). Run over to where the three switches are and you'll find an area with a portable med kit has opened. 2. Continue through the door and you'll come to a computer room.

As a matter of fact unbind the key that you use to toggle run on/off. ________ Kick Ass ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Instead of wasting ammo to knock out fans, grates, and trashcans use Duke's mighty foot. __________ Doctor 101 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If your health is only down to, say, 90 percent, don't grab a large med kit worth 30 health since the only thing that'll take your health over 100 is an atomic health atom. Try finding a small med kit and coming back for the large one later if you need it. _________ Listen Up ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Use auditory clues whenever possible. If you hear grunting or roaring, it goes without saying that a Pig Cop or an Assault Trooper is nearby. If you hear Duke say, "What a mess!" after you've fired an RPG into a window or detonated a pipe bomb, you know for sure you killed something. Don't forget doorways opening because they won't always be directly in your line of vision. ____________ Blow Shit Up ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ You can greatly augment the destructive power of any weapon by using it on certain objects. In the arcade above the theater in E1L01 (Hollywood Holocaust), for example, simply stand in the elevator and use the pistol to blow up some yellow oxygen tanks and kill all of the enemies in the room. Fire extinguishers blow up nicely, too. ____________________ Don't Commit Suicide ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ RPGs and pipe bombs are no doubt powerful weapons, but they don't do you a lot of good when you're in close-quarters because you'll end up blowing yourself up. If you know you're about to enter tight spaces switch over to the chain gun or shotgun. Save your RPG and pipe bombs for better suited environments. _____________________ Be nice to the girls! ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Yeah, you can tip 'em and hope they'll dance... some of 'em will even give you a little show... but no sense wasting them, because all it gets you is more aliens after you. ____________ Night Vision ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Always remember to use your night vision goggles when you enter a darkened area. Not only are the aliens really easy to see, but sometimes you'll see helpful messages written on the tunnel walls. _______ Look Up ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Keep your eyes peeled for objects you can leap onto, especially after you've cleared out an area and are searching for goodies. ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [5.2] Advanced Tricks Whenever you come across a pig cop and you have the freezer, freeze him, and if you're lucky some armor or a shotgun will pop out. Let him thaw and repeat the process until he won't give anything else. It is possible to fall from ANY height without a jetpack, without death, or even injury. Go to any level with a fatal vertical drop or just use the jetpack to fly up to the top of the buildings. Before you drop, select the laser trip bomb as your weapon. Face the building and after you turn off your jetpack plant a laser trip bomb. For an instant your downward velocity reverts to zero, and then you'll start accelerating again. When you're going too fast, plant another and continue until you land safely. If you have just one laser trip bomb, plant it just before you hit the bottom and you'll land unharmed. You can drink from a water fountain, toilet, or fire hydrant to regain up to 50 health per level. You can take a piss to gain 10 health per level. Duke can't hold his breath forever. Find scuba gear or come up for air constantly, otherwise Duke will start losing health When you are pint-sized by shrink attacks, use the steroids to revert yourself to normal size. Careful though as you'll kill yourself in areas that are too small to contain a normal-sized Duke--vents, shafts, and ANY ceiling or sky (in case you were flying to escape your enemy). Use an adopted version of a military/police tactic called "slice the pie" when entering rooms that you are not sure of. When you enter a room have your back to a wall and strafe into a corner. Continue all along the perimeter of the room keeping your eyes on any doorways. More than likely any doorways that you passed in your initial crossing will bring enemies bouncing fat, dumb, and happy into the room ready for the slaughter. To get rid of the laser trip bombs without having to duck under them or jump over them--blow them up with a pipe bomb, RPG, or devastator. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [6.0] Codes Cheat codes don't work under the "Damn I'm Good" difficulty setting. dnallen Displays the message "BUY MAJOR STRYKER" dnbeta Displays the message "PIRATES SUCK" dncashman When the jump button is pressed money is dropped dnclip Toggles ability to walk through walls dncoords Gives your location dncornholio Toggles god mode on and off dndebug Displays some debug information dnhyper Automatic steroids dninventory Gives all inventory items dnitems Gives maximum armor and all three keys dnkeys Gives all keys dnkroz Also toggles god mode on and off dnmonsters Monsters disappear when duke gets close dnstuff Gives all the weapons with maximum ammo and all three keys dnrate Displays the frame rate in the upper left hand corner dnscotty### Warps to a level (the first # is for the episode, the second and third # is for the level) dnskill# Changes the skill level to (1-4) dnshowmap Reveals the entire map dntodd Displays the message "REGISTER COSMO TODAY" dnunlock Toggles the locks on doors dnview Allows you to play in third person view dnweapons Gives all weapons and full ammo dnallen: Allen H.

Where can I get DN3D? A. Well supposedly you can still buy it from 3D Realms, but with the source code released I don't know why it's not freeware yet. Anyways, I recommend searching on Kazaa or the like. Q. What are the system requirements for the original DOS Based DN3D? A. The minimum system requirements are a 486DX2/66, 8 megs of RAM, and a CD-ROM drive. Local bus is also strongly recommended. The recommended requirements are a Pentium and 16 megs of RAM. Q. What are the system requirements for JonoF's DN3D port? A. He's not quite sure yet as it is "a work in progress." Actually he doesn't even promise that it will work on your computer. =) Feel free to visit his website for more information though. http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/buildport/duke3d/ Q. When was Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition released? A. Jan. 29, 1996 Q. So who made Duke Nukem? A. Original Concept: Todd Replogle and Allen H. Blum III Executive Producer: George Broussard Producer: Greg Malone Level Designers: Richard Gray, Allen Blum III Game Programmer: Todd J. Replogle "Build" 3D engine/Tools/Network: Ken Silverman Storey, Dirk Jones Additional Programmers: Mark Dochtermann, Jim Dose' Graphic Design: Robert M.

Wood Musicians: Lee Jackson, Bobby Prince Voice Talent: Loni Minella--ProMotions Production Co. (Girl at the end of the game), Jon St. John as "Duke Nukem" Q. Plutonium PAK? Atomic Edition? What's all that about? A. Until November 1996, the only registered version of Duke Nukem 3D was v1.3d. A new version was created that had a new fourth episode and 3DRealms changed the version to v1.4 - 3DRealms also gave that a new name - "The Atomic Edition". In order to upgrade customers who had the registered v1.3d CD, 3DRealms created a patch that could be purchased - that patch was called "The Plutonium PAK". In December 1996, 3DRealms updated it again for a few minor bug fixes, and the version number was again changed to v1.5. Both v1.4 and v1.5 are "Atomic". The term "Plutonium PAK" refers ONLY to the patch you need to use to upgrade an existing copy of v1.3 to v1.4. (There is a further patch available online for free to upgrade a v1.4 to v1.5). That patch is the final patch for Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition. It doesn't update anything it only changes a few minor bugs. Using 'The Plutonium PAK' will result on your copy of Duke Nukem 3D becoming 'The Atomic Edition' - The term "Plutonium PAK" refers only to the actual patch. The resultant game is called 'The Atomic Edition'. If this is all confusing, your best bet is to forget about the names and use use the version numbers. :) In short, if you had the old 3 episode registered version (the registered v1.3d CD), you want to get the Plutonium PAK (and the 1.5 free patch online), and if you don't have any Duke Nukem at all, or just the shareware, you need to buy the "Atomic Version" CD. If you buy the Atomic version, you are done. Q. So what exactly does the v1.5 patch fix? A. December 11, 1996 Here is a quick list of the changes from v1.4 to v1.5. 1. The major bug was fixing a memory corruption error that definitely caused the 'slowdown' bug. This bug probably fixed various other things like some random crashes, and save/load problems. While it might not fix everything, memory corruption is the worst possible bug, and this one was fixed and the slowdown/massive caching seemed to go away. If you still experience lots of disk caching when playing the game, load SmartDrv at DOS before you play the game. Typing "smartdrv 4000" works well. NOTE: You will need more than 8 megs to do this. 2. Fixed a bug where the game would pop up the "Mighty Foot" weapon, when other weapons were available. Really annoying. 3. Fixed the bug where if you save a game, exit to DOS and reload from the main menu, you got E1L1 music, no matter what level it was. Thanks to many people online that tested special versions for us, or helped provide more information very quickly. It enabled us to get this patch done as fast as we did. --The Duke Nukem Team _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [8.0] References and other cool stuff This section is mainly the work the work of Aris Paterakis, web designer and runner of http://www.imacgames.com, but various other people contributed as well. Army of Darkness Five of Duke's "lines" originate from this film: "Who wants some?" "Come get some" "Groovy" "That's gonna hurt" "Hail to the King baby" The star of the film, Bruce Campbell is incredibly cool and hilarious! If you like Duke Nukem 3D, you should really watch this movie. "Army of Darkness" is in fact the third movie of a trilogy, directed by Sam Raimi. The first movie, "Evil Dead, The" (1983), was mostly a horror film with some humoristic elements. "Blockbuster Video Guide to Movies and Videos" rates it with 4/5 stars. Its sequel, "Evil Dead 2, The" (1987) was not as good as the first one (3/5 stars), but it was funny. In one of the movie's classic scenes, Campbell saws off his own (possessed) hand crying "who's laughing now?" "Army of Darkness" (1993) was the best film of the trilogy rated with 4.5/5 stars. "They Live" Duke's phrase "It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum and I'm all out of gum" can be found in Carpenter's movie "They Live" (1988, 4/5 stars from "Blockbuster Video Guide to Movies and Videos"). It refers to an alien race overtaking all the important posts on earth using a radio signal to make them take the guise of humans. When Rowdy "Roddy" Piper discovers a pair of glasses (looking just like Duke's) that reveal the truth, he's in for some alien ass kickin' with style. "Pulp Fiction" "I'm gonna get medieval on your asses" is a reference to "Pulp Fiction" (Marsellus Wallace says that to Zed, after shooting him... where it hurts most!). Marsellus actually says "I'm gonna get medieval on your ass". "Full Metal Jacket" Another quote from duke is, "I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!" This is said by Sgt. Hartman, in "Full Metal Jacket," to Private Jocker, at the beginning. Playboy In various levels you will find "Play Magazine" and on the cover is a naked chick. This is based on Playboy magazine. Aliens One of the many references to "Aliens" is the girls you find trapped by green slime. Also the eggs and the Queen at Episode 4 are related. "Sister Act" You can see everywhere in the game that "Sister Act III" is coming soon (as a XXX film), and you even see the actresses of the film at level E4L07, "XXX- Stasy". You can also see posters being printed for "Sister act IV". O.J.Simpson O.J. is one of Duke Nukem's favorite subjects! At the beginning of E1L1 (Hollywood Holocaust) and E3L1 ("Raw Meat") there's a sign that reads "Innocent", followed by a blood stain in the shape of a "?", referring to O.J.'s initial verdict. In E1L2 ("Red Light District") the TV in the bar shows O.J.'s white Bronco being chased by the police! Hello? Anybody there? In the bathroom of E101 ("Hollywood Holocaust") a phone number is on the wall by the urinals. It isn't a random number! It's from the song "Jenny" by Tommy Tutone. "Jenny" was a song about a guy who saw Jenny's number on a bathroom wall and kept bugging her. 3D Realm games In the arcade of E1L01 (Hollywood Holocaust) is a pinball machine called "Balls of Steel". This is actually a real game made by 3D Realms. Also in the arcade is a Duke Nukem II machine. The screen is actually very similar to the orignal box art. Apple/1984 Commercial (Note this only works on the Mac version of DN3D) In E1L01 ("Hollywood Holocaust") go to the projection room, stand in front of the camera and hit the action button so that the girl on the screen starts dancing. Then type dn1984. The message "Big brother is watching" will appear and you'll see the Apple/1984 commercial playing. Wanna shoot some pool? In E1L02 (Red Light District) when you enter the bar/entertainment complex you pass a pool table. This is a fully functional pool table! You can shoot the balls and they move. You can break with your pistol and shoot some balls into the various pockets with the cue ball and the pistol. Rise of the Triad In the chapel of E1L03 ("Toxic Dump"), hanging from the ceiling, is a monk. This is apparently a reference to the "Rise of the Triad" series also made by 3D Realms. DOOM In E1L03 ("Toxic Dump") behind the temple cross you'll find a space marine with his legs cut off and green slime all over him. Duke will say, "That's one DOOMed marine". A reference to DOOM. The Shawsank Redemption In E1L03 ("Toxic Dump") you come to a prison cell with a poster of a girl. You can walk through this poster into a tunnel. This is a reference to "The Shawsank Redemption" Still looking for "Red October"? The floating submarine in E1L03 ("Death Row") is the "USS Dallas". A reference to "The Hunt for Red October". Commander Keen In E1L05 ("The Abyss") there's a message at the bottom of the first pillar leading up to the spaceship saying "Dopefish Lives". It's a character from the Commander Keen series, an older game from Apogee and ID. Levelord In E1L05 ("The Abyss") Jetpack up to the alcove where the shrink ray bursts are being shot. On the wall there is a message that says, "You're not supposed to be here. -Levelord". For those of you who don't know, the Levelord is one of the designers for lots of the original Duke 3D levels. Star Trek The entire map of E2L03 ("Warp Factor") looks like the USS Enterprise! Even inside the ship there are similarities: The observation deck is there, as well as a "Really Ready Room". Finally, on the observation deck, you can shoot a switch and take a secret ride to the bridge. Occupied Territory E2L05 ("Occupied Territory") seems to be a reference to the movie "Red Dawn", where communists try to take over the U.S. Duke dares the Force! E2L06 ("Tiberius Station"), in a canyon, if you jump into a cave from a ledge you will see a dead storm trooper (some say Luke Skywalker) hanging from the ceiling, and Duke says, "Now THIS is a Force to be reckoned with". "2001" In E2L08 ("Dark Side") you can see the "2001, a space Odyssey" monolith. "Easy Rider" In E3L01 ("Raw Meat") when you enter the bar you can hear Steppenwolf's "Born to be wild" (you can even sing it pressing the spacebar near the karaoke microphone!), and there is a screen with a motorbike that says "Born to be wild", a reference to "Easy Rider". "Fake" trip to the moon In E3L05 ("Movie Set") there is a setting for taking a movie, with a space background. It seems to be a reference to the famous story that the first visit of NASA to the moon was a fake, taken in a studio. Several magazines have discussed the subject. In one of the recent issues of the francophone magazine "Facteur X" there is a special with a professional photographer analyzing the photos from the first trip to the moon. There is also a movie on the subject, "Capricorn One" (1978). Subliminal Advertising In E3L06 (Rapid Transit) there is a cash register just past the revolving doors. On the cash register, clear as day, are the Visa and MasterCard logos. "Radio station" In E3L07 ("Fahrenheit") there is a microphone. If you go there and click on it, Duke will say, "This is KTIT. K-TIT, serving the breast, uh, best news in town." Indiana Nukem? In E3L08 ("Hotel Hell") Duke says: "We meet agaiin, Toctor Djones!" Caddyshack reference In E3L08 (Hotel Hell), near the fountain that leads to one of the secret levels, there is a large swimming pool with a diving board. Jump in for a swim and go down and look at the bottom. There you will find an opened BabyRuth candy bar! This is a reference to the golf movie comedy "Caddyshack", starring Bill Murray. In one scene a BabyRuth is accidentally dropped into a crowded swimming pool and gets mistaken for a "doodie"! The laughs keep coming after the pool is evacuated like a stampede and Bill Murray's character walks up to the "doodie", takes a bite out of it! Mission Improbable The whole E4L1 (It's Impossible) theme is obviously a spoof on the movie "Mission Impossible." Duke-Burger The whole E4L02 (Duke-Burger) theme is obviously a spoof on McDonalds. They even have a sign that says, "Duke Burger: 0 burgers sold". SPCH There are several signs in E4L2 (Duke-Burger) that say, "Society for the Preparation of Canine Hamburger"--the SPCH. This is a play on words of the actual SPCA--the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Scooby-dooby-doo! In E4L02 (Duke-Burger) there are lots of cages. One has a dog in it and on the front of that cage it says "Scrappy Doo", a Scooby Doo character. Escape from L.A... In Secret 7 of E4L03 (Shop-N-Bag) you'll see a guy's head on a stick and Duke says, "I guess he didn't escape from L.A." This is a reference to the movie "Escape from L.A." staring Kurt Russell. The guy's head on the stick is Kurt Russell's character Snake Plissken. Terminator In E4L05 ("Pigsty") when you start the level you hear "I'll be back!" and then you hear a car crash into the police station and lots of shotgun noises. That's from "Terminator" when Arnie goes into the police station looking for the woman and kills several police officers. Duke Hard! In E4L05 ("Pigsty"), inside the police station you'll find a desk with the tag "J.McLain" on it. There Duke says "Yippie Kia Yea Mother !@#$^&" These are references to "Die Hard", where Bruce Willis played the role of a NY police officer. Dirty Duke! Once more in E4L05 ("Pigsty"), there is a desk with a name "H.Callahan" on and Duke says "Go ahead. Make my day". A reference to "Dirty Harry" where Clint Eastwood played detective Harry Callahan. Duke and the Simpsons In E4L06 (Going Postal), there's a bathroom with the words "Pick up Bart" written in reverse on a wall (look in the mirror to see them). This is clearly a reference to an old Simpson's episode, where Bart tries to send a telepathic message to his father but only causes a friend of his to write those same words on a bathroom wall (also in mirror writing). Also, in E3L09 (Stadium), if you fly really high, you will find a 'duff beer' blimp. Shoot it with the RPG or devastator and goodies will fall. ET Phone Home In E4L11 (Area 51) there is a trailer with a license plate that says, "ILUVET" obviously referring to the movie E.T. The Roswell Incident In E4L11 (Area 51) there is crate that has printed on it, "Recieved from Roswell, N.M., 7/2/47, to W.P.A.F.B, OH Hanger 18". This is referring Roswell. Lake What? In case you were wondering what the sign in secret 5 of E4L11 (Area 51) means, Groom Lake is the name of the dried up lake that Area 51 is supposedly located on. _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [9.0] Cool Things to Try This section is just some things that I've come across while playing DN3D that I thought were pretty cool. (This is how you know I've played way to much DN3D.) Type in dnkroz, dnstuff, and dnview. Use the jetpack and jetpack up to a really high height. Now turn off the jetpack. When you hit the ground you will see a gruesome animation of Duke spewing blood. This one is really annoying. If you kill an enemy while clipping is off (dnclip) and then toggle it back on any enemy corpses that are on the ground have now become solid. You won't be able to walk through them or an enemy on the other side of it. The only way to fix this is to restart the game. This one is cool. Find a mirror and turn clipping off. Walk through the mirror with your back to it. The screen turns black except for where the mirror is. You can look out the mirror like it's a window even if you blow it up! More mirror novelties. Have you ever noticed that any real game action displayed in a mirror actually has a slight delay? Well, try it out for yourself. Find a mirror and try quick kicking. Now, to really mess with your brain type in dnview and try the same thing. Magically the delay is gone. Another mirror phenomenon. Type in dnview and then find a mirror. For some reason a mirror is only capable of displaying Duke in 3 different positions-- facing it, left profile, and right profile. This one is fun if you're bored. Find a level with a vertical "squisher". Type in dnkroz and get squished over and over again. Each time you "die" you will leave a goo string between the "squisher" and the floor. Disappearing bullets. Use the jetpack to fly up to the top of a level. When you can't go any higher fire a couple rockets and they will magically disappear. Oddly enough this works for any weapon except the pipe bomb. In E408 (Critical Mass) find the large rotating pillar room. Select the laser trip bomb, jump, and then plant the bomb on one of the pillars. If you've done it correctly the laser trip bomb will float in the air. You'll need a large area for this one (try E309 "Stadium"). Use the steroids and then fire an RPG rocket. You can actually out run your rocket! For a real laugh trying firing a rocket, catching up to it, and then running in front of it thus blowing yourself up. ;) _______________________________________________________________________________ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ [END]
