- ░▒▓█ DUKE NUKEM █▓▒░
-
- Copyright 1991 Apogee Software Productions
-
- Designed by Todd Replogle
- Published by Apogee Software Productions
-
-
- SHORT DESCRIPTION:
- Duke Nukem has over one megabyte of EGA/VGA animation and
- graphics. It features 4-way, multiple-scrolling levels
- that have never been seen on an IBM PC! Incredibly realistic
- graphics and animation that updates 48 times per second!
- Duke is an amazing hero, who can flip and cling to ceilings.
- Help him save the world on his first action-packed adventure.
-
- Other features include: Large animated enemies, built-in
- hint mode, joystick support, self-running demo, arcade
- sound effects, save/restore, and much more.
-
-
- FULL DESCRIPTION:
- After the tremendous response to Commander Keen, Apogee's
- follow-up game had to be really spectacular. And Duke
- Nukem is just that--a superb showstopper with over one Meg
- of animation and graphics, four times more than Commander
- Keen had!
-
- This is an arcade/adventure game that compares to the
- Sega Genesis home systems. (It's far superior to games
- typically seen on the Nintendo home system.)
-
- Duke Nukem also has four-way, dual scrolling playfields,
- and does it better than any other IBM game. Features:
- Large animated characters, reflections, arcade sound
- effects, built-in hint mode, joystick support,
- cinematic sequences, self-running demo mode,
- save/restore, high scores, etc.
-
- Rarely is a game released with such a well animated main
- character. Duke Nukem will do full flips and use his
- grappling hooks to hand-walk along ceilings. Duke is a
- hero everyone will like.
-
- Duke Nukem is rendered in vivid EGA graphics, with many special
- screen effects. As usual, Apogee offers two more episodes
- if players want to continue their adventures with Duke.
-
- This is truly a game that will demonstrate the graphical
- abilities of your computer if you have EGA or VGA. Get
- ready for a fun time as you rescue the world from the
- latest madman, Dr. Proton.
-
- Hardware Requirements: IBM PC or compatible with 640k RAM,
- hard drive, and optional joystick.
