HAH!

"hell, id still hit it"

lmfao

awesome.

I'll wait until it's actually on shelves, and I might buy it.

I wonder what the space bar will do this time?

 

[matefrio]

Ya, may skip this one.. too much anticipation spoiled it.

 

[Clockwork]

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum... and I'm all out of gum.

 

[Wolfwood]

this makes me what to scale down a potatoe launcher to fire HV bubalicious

Wow. . . Duke Nukem. That brings back some memories of the old DOS games. Like playing Doom multiplayer (or was that Quake? Same game, just newer version) with hand-to-hand only. Had to find the enemy and beat him to death, no wimpy weapons for us!!

 

[TheDan]

Hmm, hell must be freezing over. I've said "yeah right, that'll happen when duke nukem forever comes out," so many times this might just bring on the apocalypse...

All joking aside, I think they should name this one something else. Its obviously not the same game that was started over a decade ago. It'd actually be pretty funny if they named this one something else and put references to "forever" in the game.

Sorry, but not the original vaporware - just the most famous in tech circles.

. . . and we'll have to wait and see it on the store shelves (trailers have been released before, followed by . . . . crickets)

I wish there were more effective ways to play old DOS games than just DOSBox software. It doesn't always do the trick. I'm glad that Steam released the X-COM series but I wish they'd patch X-COM: Apocalypse so it would actually work... at least the original game and Terror from the Deep play on Windows 7 and Vista.

just put together an old 386 and slap win3.1 on it man.

shouldnt cost more than 30 bucks.

ive got a copy of windows 1.0 somewhere...

 

[Clockwork]

Where would someone get parts for an old 386, anyway?

I'd rather just use like DOS 6 than Windows 1...

Where would someone get parts for an old 386, anyway?

Today, one use for the 386 processor is in air conditioning thermostats (it's evolved to about the size of your little fingernail).

 

[Clockwork]

Yeah, my Blackberry has a lot more power than a 386 does...

VirtualBox works well for such applications. No need for ancient hardware!
