Correct. At the time we thought our use of Duke Nukem was going to be a problem, and we changed the spelling for the v2.0 update of the original Duke Nukem game. Duke Nukem II started life called "Duke Nukum II", and somewere during the dev of that we found out we were clear with the original spelling, and changed it back for the release of Duke Nukem II. We never did go back and fix the original game. Wish we had, a lot of this would have been avoided.
Not sure what twelvepaws is on about there.
