When, three years later, 3D Realms released Duke Nukem 3D, a tongue-in-cheek science fiction shooter based on Ken Silverman's technologically similar Build engine, id Software had nearly finished Quake, its next-generation game, which mirrored Dooms success for the remainder of the 1990s and significantly reduced interest in its predecessor.

Duke Nukem 3D is a first-person shooter computer game developed by 3D Realms and published by GT Interactive Software.

It is a sequel to the platform games Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II published by Apogee.

Duke Nukem 3D features the adventures of the titular macho Duke Nukem ( voiced by Jon St. John ), who fights against an alien invasion on Earth.

Along with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, Duke Nukem 3D is considered responsible for popularizing first-person shooters.

After fifteen years in development hell, a direct sequel was released called Duke Nukem Forever.

As a first-person shooter, the gameplay of Duke Nukem 3D involves moving through levels presented from the protagonist's point of view, shooting enemies on the way.

The environment of Duke Nukem 3D is highly destructible and interactive ; most props can be destroyed by the player.

Duke Nukem 3D features multiplayer.

Duke Nukem 3D did not support the TCP / IP client / server model, instead basing its network play on the IPX LAN, modem or serial cable.

Duke Nukem 3D players often either battled modem-to-modem, using the IPX network utility Kali or the Total Entertainment Network ( TEN ) online pay service.

Duke Nukem 3D has been ported to run on modern Microsoft Windows variants including Windows XP and Windows 7.

Duke Nukem 3D is set on Earth " sometime in the early 21st century ".

The levels of Duke Nukem 3D take the player outdoors and indoors through rendered street scenes, military bases, deserts, a flooded city, space stations, moon bases and a Japanese restaurant.

The introduction establishes that the game picks up right after the events of Duke Nukem II, with Duke returning to Earth in his space cruiser.

Various spin-offs and modifications to the original Duke Nukem 3D were produced in the following years of the game's initial launch.
