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.

* Plutonium PAK / Atomic Edition: The Atomic Edition of Duke Nukem 3D was released in November 1996, and contained the original 3 episode game as well as a new eleven-level fourth episode.

The Plutonium PAK was also released as an upgrade package to convert the original release of Duke Nukem 3D ( v1. 3d ) to the new Atomic Edition ( v1. 4, later patched to v1. 5 ).

The Total Entertainment Network featured hundreds of Duke 3D players online at any given time and players had to pay a monthly fee.

The last major game to make use of the Duke Nukem 3D source code was TNT Team's WWII GI in 1999.

Its programmer, Matthew Saettler, obtained permission from 3D Realms to expand the gameplay enhancements done on WWII GI to Duke Nukem 3D.

Wiederhold was later hired by 3D Realms to work on the sequel Duke Nukem Forever.

The add-on was unofficial but was included in an official compilation called Duke Nukem: Kill-A-Ton Collection through business deals with 3D Realms.

In Edward, 2nd Duke of York's work The Master of Game, which was mostly a 15th century translation of an earlier work by Gaston III of Foix-Béarn entitled Livre de chasse, Spaniels are described as being as much from Spain as you could consider all Greyhounds to be from England or Scotland.

Zach Duke was named to the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, replacing the injured Matt Cain.

For example, No. 56 printed the patent giving the Electoral Prince the title of Duke of Cambridge.

In a few months the Duke was to be the center of a controversy of some significance on the touchy question of the Protestant Succession.

At the order of the Dowager Electress, the Hanoverian agents, supported by the Whig leaders, demanded that a writ of summons be issued which would call the Duke to England to sit in Parliament, thus further insuring the Succession by establishing a Hanoverian Prince in England before the Queen's death.

This 1930 edition also had songs in it by Vernon Duke and Ira Gershwin, by E. Y. Harburg and Duke, and by Harry Myers.

Back and forth Duclos had to go, between M. De Cury and Jean Jacques and between the Duke D'Aumont and Jean Jacques again, as his little operetta, The Village Soothsayer, though still unperformed, took on ever more importance.
