by Apogee Software, Interceptor Entertainment
Genres:Platform, Shooter, Arcade
Themes:Action, Science fiction
Game modes:Single player
Story:Duke Nukem is back. Captured by an alien foe in the middle of promoting his best-selling book, “Why I’m So Great”, Duke must once more defeat the forces of evil to save himself from the knowledge-stealing Rigelatins, and ultimately prove his book’s namesake. In this sequel to the 1991 high-octane, bot-busting video game, Duke Nukem, the King of Action must blast, cannon, missile and flame his way to victory - a victory that would stop the secrets of both ass-kicking and bubblegum from falling into the wrong hands.Show more

An excelent platform game, remember when my dad buys magazines with shareware cd-roms. A really fun game. Of course, I want this game back GOG. It's a must have in DOS games collection.

Truely must have. Duke = legend. Level design is quite nifty. As a kid I remember how I would try to imagine these places as real places. Like, what kind of place would this be if it was real. And how should I interpret this texture? Only to find out that that stimulates fantasy.

I would buy the **it out of those whole series I spent so much time as a kid no internet rocking it out on all 3 versions of this game, time well wasted across the board.
One of the first games I remember playing on the old Windows 3.1 rig my parents had when I was little. Not sure I ever got past the first level back then, but that didn't stop me from having a good time.
Duke's second main outing where he fights against alien invaders for the first time after saving the world from Proton's techbots from the previous game. After being captured by the Rigelatins, Duke breaks free and explores an exotic planet that isn't earth fighting back against the aliens in order to save his home planet once again from this new threat. This is basically a 16-bit style upgrade of the classic Duke Nukem side-scrolling action that features different weapons, new enemies, and a rocking memorable soundtrack that doesn't get enough appreciation which sadly got cut out in the 2023 remastered re-release. Like the first game, the levels are designed with free exploration, collectables that contain extra points, and baddies to blast away. Duke Nukem 2 predates Duke 3D and it's also an important part of the main series just like with Duke 1 Both titles don't get enough recognition by many despite having some background and references that can be seen in 3D. Duke Nukem 2, along with the rest of the Duke Nukem series deserves to live on forever.
Duke Nukem II is notably better than the original in every possible way. This is among the very best Duke Nukem games. You get four episodes worth of levels taking on aliens. You get to explore with some tricky enemy placements. I actually like a few levels has vehicles you can ride around in. The intro just sticks with you to a degree. I know people will be a little funny how to bring this DOS game back. I would say the overall audio is leagues beyond the original. The bosses is a little rememberable as well. I would even go as far to say the second best main Duke Nukem game behind Duke 3D. I felt a lot of his traits came from this game.
Those games also need your vote!

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
