The original Duke Nukem is one of the few platformers I was actually able to beat. Just the right difficulty for me. A lovely game from days past - a good memory for me, personally.

This game was quite amazing and a piece of history, was Commander Keen with GUNS AND ATTITUDE, i played quite a lot back then and i would love to have it on GOG for me to play it again.
This needs to be dragged from the greasy fingers of Randel S. Pitchford III, it is a part of gaming history and deserves to be preserved, it isn't much but it was our first introduction to the Duke and lets not let Duke Nukem Forever be the last thing the character is remembered for.
The very first game that started a legend that would be known as Duke Nukem. Sure Duke 3D was a game changer that made the character recognizable by many, but the first Duke Nukem game is just as important since it is part of the main series. Duke shows off his one-man army capabilities for the first time against the evil Dr. Proton and his techbot army in this simple easy-to-play 2D side-scroller shooter. I especially found it hilarious how Proton would communicate with Duke via TV screens throughout the game. The levels allow for full exploration to find keys, powerups, and other secrets that can rack up big points for the high score like collecting the red balloons. Duke Nukem's past adventures used to be on GOG before Gearbox acquired the full IP and they have not returned ever since. His legacy deserves to be forever preserved for future generations of gamers to enjoy and learn about the history why Duke was, and always will be a true king in gaming.
