DUKE NUKEM I
 An
incredible EGA game (VGA compatible) with large animated
characters, and huge levels. Your mission is to stop Dr.
Proton, a madman bent on ruling the world with his army
of Techbots. As the irrepressible hero Duke Nukem,
you'll chase Dr. Proton deep into the Earth, then to his
lunar space station, and eventually into the Earth's
nuclear ravished future.
This is an astonishing Sega Genesis style game with
amazing animation! Also features dual scrolling play
fields, with huge 3D-like backdrops. Watch Duke
somersault and cling on to ceilings as he escapes traps
and battles Proton's robot guards. This game is a real
show stopper!
Other features include four-way scrolling levels,
cinematic effects, demo mode, built-in hint mode, arcade
sound effects, joystick support, high score chart,
save/restore up to nine games, unlimited continues,
keyboard reconfigure, sound on/off toggle, cheat mode,
and much more...
This is a game that spawned a gaming legend!
Originally released July 1,
1991.
Why does my copy of Duke
Nukem say "Duke Nukum"?
There is frequently a great
deal of confusion over the correct spelling of one of
Apogee's most prized characters, Duke Nukem. The
original spelling for the name was "Duke Nukem";
however, during the code fix stage between v1.0 and v2.0
of the original game, Apogee found a character overseas
named "Duke Nukem" that was thought to be copyrighted.
So, for v2.0 of the original Duke game, the name was
changed to "Duke Nukum." Then, during the programming of
the next Duke Nukem game (Duke Nukem II), it was
discovered that the character they found overseas was
not copyrighted after all -- and so the original name
was reinstated. "Duke Nukem" is also the spelling used
in all successive games that featured the character.
The spellings "Duke Nuke 'em,"
"Duke Nuke'um," "Duke Nuke'm," "Duke Nuk'em" or other
variations are not, and were never, correct. The
correct spelling of the game is "Duke Nukem".
