Duke Nukem...

i remember playing the first duke nukem a few, well more than a few, years ago. looking forward to see what duke's been up to since then. probably get the xbox 360 when it's released.

Put on your sunglasses and prepare to step into the boots of Duke Nukem, whose legend has reached epic proportions in the years since his last adventure. The alien hordes are back and only Duke can save the world, again. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses won't stop our hero from accomplishing his one and only goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it. The King of All Shooters is back with over-the-top weapons, massive aliens and unprecedented levels of interactivity. This game puts pedal to the metal and tongue firmly in cheek, among other places. Shoot hoops, lift weights, read adult magazines, draw crude messages on whiteboards or ogle one of the many beautiful women that populate Duke's life; that is if you can pull yourself away long enough from kicking ass and taking names. Duke Nukem was and will forever be immortalized in gaming history, and this is his legend.

I never play this Duke Nukem but I did manage to make it all the way through Leisure Suit Larry. (Commodore 128 era) Does that count?

Boy advertising hasn't changed all that much over the years.....

Somehow though, that thing doesn't look portable enough to use on the sandy beaches of Hawaii. :confused:

My first, real job, had me using the Tandy 6000HD, actually six of them. 1MB RAM, CPU Z80A@4MHz, 8" - double sided floppy, 15MB Internal hard drive. We used these to run a doctors practice that consisted of 11 specialists. It took me forever to back up those systems each day with those floppy drives. :D

Psst. I worked on three main systems...the Xerox Sigma 9, the VAX 11/750, and the VAX 11/780, which all had to communicate through a Gandalf unit. Our backups involved 1" tape, and out HDD was a series of drives with stacks of 12" platters...I also used to use the odd Osborne portable...
