Topic: GoG.com gets Apogee stuff.

Including Duke3D, Duke: Manhattan Project, ROTT (that's Rise of the Triad for any of you unwashed heathens who don't know), and the two Blake Stone games.  The nostalgia just might kill me.  Check it out.  Only Duke3D is available at this very moment, but the others should be up soon.

[K-man]

This is what I'm talking about.

I want wolfenstein to be on there.

[wizall]

Oh my god, that there is a fine list.  Nostalgia, no joke.  I'm waiting for my acne to come roaring back.

[MysterD]

Our great grand-kids will be dead before DNF gets released on GOG.

[Pugnate]

You just have to sneak that joke into any thread, don't you? If you don't have a DNF joke on your headstone, after you die, I'll be really upset.

[MysterD]

Okay, all jokes aside....

Duke 3D: Atomic getting put on GOG is just awesome news. I still have Duke 3D + Plutonium Pak in its original CD Case.

That's pretty cool that Rise of The Triad is getting put on GOG, as well.

Now, we need to get Blood and Blood 2 get put on GOG.
And someone talk Monolith into making a Blood 3 (if they still own the rights to Blood IP).

[scottws]

Wow I'm so all over Duke3D.  I don't care if John Carmack thought the engine was held together with rubber bands.  That game was friggin' awesome!

[MysterD]

Quake and Duke 3D were the good old days of FPS's, man.
Both kicked ass.

Though, Quake 1's ending sucked.

[Quemaqua]

I think I'll actually buy and play through Duke3D again at some point, because I lost the disc I had.  Actually, I don't rightly remember what happened.  I think I had the original disc and the Plutonium Pack, but loaned the first out and never got it back.  That, or that one was my friend's and I bought the expansion so we could play everything (we shared games a lot back then).  I think that's probably what it was.  So now I just have the expansion, which obviously does me no good at all.

And Rise of the Triad is just fucking awesome.

Since I still got the original copies of the Duke 3D and Plutonium on disc -- I'm wondering if it's easy or a pain to get those going on Win XP or Vista. Any clue? I should look into this. Duke 3D freakin' rocks.

Hmmmm...Were there any source ports made to run Duke 3D in Win XP or Vista?

And Rise of the Triad is just fucking awesome.

Sweet.

I wonder if Shadow Warrior will every join GOG....

[Quemaqua]

Wouldn't surprise me to see that one pop up.

And yeah, I believe there was a Duke3D source project at some point.  I remember the PSP homebrew version being based off that build.  I forget the name, though.  I never tried it (though I did try the PSP port, which was surprisingly functional for how limited it had to be).

Thanks, Idol.
I'mma have to check that one out.

[PyroMenace]

Fuck yes, this is what I am wanting if I wanted to play Duke3D again, mouse look!

[ren]

Rise of the Triad was the first shooter I ever played. Definitely want to get this again for nostalgia alone.

[MysterD]

Oh, hell yeah -- I got Duke 3D: Atomic running fine under EDuke32. Frickin' awesome.
Hail to the King, baby!

EDIT #1:
Hey, does anyone know how to take screenshots within EDuke32?

EDIT #2:
Basically, if you have DN3D on disc (Version 1.3) + Plutonium Pak on disc (Version 1.4) OR the DN3D: Atomic Edition on DISC (V1.4)...

You will need to install DN3D. Then, download PPatch15.exe and put it in your Duke Nukem directory on your hard drive and run that WITH ALSO whatever newest CD version of the game you have in your disc drive that you own, to get Duke updated to the final version (1.5).

EDIT #3 -- Dec 13, 2012:
GOG -> Mod Spotlight for Duke Nukem 3D.

[MysterD]

Shacknews -> Some modder got the legal go-ahead to work on porting Duke Nukem 3D over to FREE Version of Unreal Engine 3.
He got a "personal non-commercial use" license, BTW.
He is calling it this version: Duke Nukem: Next-Gen.
It'll be out...when it's done.
There's a preview video in the attached link.

[Xessive]

Haha damn my ISP! I was about to post this but you beat me!

Here's the PCG article on DN:NG.

[MysterD]

Shadow Warrior: Complete Edition joins GOG at $5.99.
Comes with Shadow Warrior + its 2 expansions (Wanton Destruction and Twin Dragon).

[W7RE]

Hmmm. I already own Shadow Warrior on CD, but might have to grab this for the expansions.

[MysterD]

PC Gamer -> Duke Nukem 3D Mod called DNF 2013 released.

Bobby Prince (composer) is suing Gearbox & Valve over his music being used in Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour [re-release on Steam]:
https://www.vg247.com/2019/09/30/duke-nukem-3d-composer-suing-gearbox/

Notes:
- Bobby Prince did the music for DN3D, back in the day.
- Bobby Prince was paid $1 royalty from each DN3D copy sold, back in the day with Apogee.
- Bobby did not grant permission for his music to be used in the re-release.
- Bobby says that he was not compensated for the usage of 16 of his songs in this DN3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour Re-Release.
- Bobby sent a take-down notice to Valve and they did nothing, so he's suing them too.
- Interesting enough, XBOX and PlayStation aren't mentioned in this, only Steam.
- Bobby is giving Valve and Gearbox 21 days to respond.
