This will take you to that section. Throughout the guide, I reference other sections using the notation of ##-##. For example, I may reference section 06-01. If you copy and paste that into the CTRL+F search dialogue and add a pair of square braces - [] - around it, then you will go to that section quickly. Searching for 06-01 will therefore bring you to the Cheat Codes section. When you reach a section, depending on the length of that section there may be a Listing of Contents. This is a mini Table of Contents and will direct you to the various important parts in that section. For example, in the Enemies section, there will be a table that will "link" to the different enemies in the game. Note that not all sections deserve a Listing of Contents because some sections are quite small (the Introduction or Controls sections for example). +----------------------+======================================================= | [02-00] Introduction |======================================================= +----------------------+======================================================= Welcome to my Duke Nukem 3D walkthrough. This guide contains a "getting started" section for those new to the game, a breakdown of enemies and weapons, a full walkthrough for every level of the game, a list of secrets and Easter eggs in the game, and some frequently asked questions (FAQs). Duke Nukem 3D is the legendary first person shooting game (FPS) that combined great level design with the gritty style and attitude of Duke Nukem, a trash talking anti-hero with a vendetta against alien scum. Duke Nukem 3D, unlike it's predecessors DOOM and Wolfenstein 3D, was able to have full 3D movement, rooms on top of rooms, and much more - making the FPS genre not only more entertaining, but more technically advanced as well. Fond words are still spoken of Duke as the last great Duke Nukem game, and possibly the last traditional FPS Duke game (if the much-delayed Duke Nukem Forever does not come out soon!). [02-00-01] What You Won't Find in This Guide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This FAQ will cover many of the single player gameplay aspects of this guide, however, it will not cover the following aspects: + Multiplayer (TEN, LAN games, etc) + Technical issues (Will this work on Vista? XP?, etc) + DOS with relation to this game (much of this can be found in the official documentation) + Unofficial mods and addons (there are a few sites dedicated to these, and they would do a much better cataloging job then I would) [02-00-02] Language Warning ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is some coarse language in this guide. I personally don't swear in the walkthrough, but I do have transcripts of some of the in game content. This is primarily in the section 7, which is called "Duke Related Stuff". If you are sensitive to this kind of thing, here is fair warning to you. [02-00-03] Assumptions Made When Using This Guide ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you are playing through the full game, you should have at least the first three episodes and the 1.5 Patch (available at 3drealms.com). Ideally, you will have the Plutonium Pak / Atomic Edition which has the fourth episode and will already be updated. The walkthrough has been written for the Come Get Some difficulty. Much of it will be similar to the other difficulty levels except for the appearances of enemies. This will be discussed in section 02-02-01. [02-00-04] Recognition and Acknowledgements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This guide wouldn't have been possible without the help of many contributors. See Section 10-02 for the full listing of contributors, but I feel that these folks here have put an exceptional amount of time into Duke and this guide. Fernando Calvo: This man has contributed so much info to the guide, in the form of Easter eggs, corrections and much, much more. He is also the reigning speed run king of Duke. Thanks so much! Jacek D: Like Fernando, Jacek has added tons of info and corrections to the guide. Without him it would be much more innacurate. Thanks! Stephen Worek: Another contributor of mass eggs and corrections. Thanks! Mike P.: I have been told that my guide is hard to read at times because of the abbreviations. Mike cleaned up the whole guide and hopefully made it more readable for a larger audience. Thanks! [02-00-05] Further Duke Resources ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are many other great resoruces for Duke on the Internet. This section will link to a few of these resources. Fernando's Speed Walkthroughs: http://www.red-stars.net/content/Main_Page This site, a co-effort by speedrun masters Fernando Calvo and JLennox, is truly the only place to go on the Internet if you ever need anything with regards to speed-running in Duke. This site has videos every level in detail along wtih an explanation of tips and tricks. Fernando and JLennox recently created the next episode in their series of Duke 3D runs - Duke Done Quicker, and they beat the entire game (all four episodes!) in 21:43, or 24:30 with secret levels. Follow the link below to see the movie: http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?p=557948#post557948 Oh yeah - don't try to beat Fernando's times, he will crush you. eScenCe's Video Walkthroughs: http://escence.blog.de/?tag=duke+nukem+3d This site was created by Sebastian "eScenCe" S. and is intended to provide a video talkthrough for every level in the game. The website is in German. The video walkthroughs use the High Resolution Pack (HRP - See below). JonoF's Duke 3D Port: http://jonof.edgenetwork.org/index.php?p=jfduke3d JonoF is the creater of a Win32 port for Duke Nukem 3D, that will allow the user to play Duke Nukem 3D natively in a Windows-based environment without the hassle of DOS. It should address nearly all the compatability issues with other systems, and combinted with a program like DukesterX it allows for similar hassle free multiplayer. Duke HRP (High Resolution Pack): http://hrp.duke4.net/faq.php Ever wanted to play Duke3D with 3D graphics? Well, this might well be the only way that you'll play a Duke First Person Shooter with 3D graphics unless Duke manages to get his act together for Duke Nukem Forever. The mod is absolutely glorius and it would be a shame to miss out on it. LameDuke Guide: http://www.gamefaqs.com/computer/doswin/file/197174/49093 Curious about the beta of Duke Nukem 3D? Fear not, the guide created by yours truly still exists, though it is found at the above address now (amongst other locations). 3D Realms Website: http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/index.php One of few active communites on the web for Duke 3D and other Duke games on the web, the website provides much insight on Duke 3D and it's community through the use of it's expansive Forums system. +-----------------------+ =| [02-01] The Game Menu |====================================================== +-----------------------+ After you watch the Introduction movies, you will be launched into the Main Menu.
