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

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 to fight back 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.
The Ultimate DOOMThe complete megahit game that set the world afire. Plus All-New Episode IV: Thy Flesh Consumed. The demons came and the marines died. Except one. You are the last defense against these hell-spawned hordes. Prepare for the most intense mutant-laden, blood-splattered action ever! The texture-mapped virtual world is so real, you don't just play DOOM - you live it.Action Horror Science fiction
