DUKE NUKEM 3D To load a custom Duke Nukem level, copy the file into your Duke Nukem directory (usually \DUKE3D). If the file is zipped, unzip it using PKUNZIP (not provided with this CD). Once you've copied the file to the Duke Nukem 3D directory, load Duke Nukem by typing SETUP instead of DUKE3d. Then choose the "Select User Level" option. The new MAP should appear in this listing. For example, if the name of the file is BRIDGES.MAP, BRIDGES should appear in the "Select User Level" list once it's copied over to the Duke Nukem 3D directory.
