Duke Nukem 3D V.99?

[Damien from omen]

Hey guys, I just come across some what looks like Beta version of Duke Nukem 3D which I never known about:

Theres a few noticable differences, does anyone have any story behind this? Look at the episode names, shotgun sound and level differences.

Thanks much.

I don't know what you mean by a story behind it, there are plenty of reasons for various changes, too many to list in fact. If you are interested in this sort of thing, it might be worth looking over here at this thread, which contains findings from the beta (along with other interesting things) : http://forums.duke4.net/index.php?showtopic=1360

Oh, and it's good to know people are still watching those videos :)

Thanks much, that was really interesting, if you know of any more people investigating differences like that, I'd really appreciate the link!

I remember that the 1.00 shareware still had a few Lameduke art tiles. I recognized one on that switch in the projector room. Some of the secret areas were changed around slightly, too. I don't remember that Help screen or those alternate Episode titles (Cosmic Wasteland, Shutdown at Ground Zero). I think this is legit.

The differences are much more pronounced in LameDuke. If you've played that demo, you'll notice that there are no sloped surfaces in any level. That was a late addition to the engine. I believe LameDuke was going to have reflective water, too but for whatever reason, was not included. There are also several Sector Effectors that were not used in Duke 3D but are still in the engine if you're interested in fiddling with them (like escalator sectors). Also, a space suit was planned in earlier versions but not included.
