Original Duke Nukem/Nukum sidescroller source code?

r00tb33r · 03-30-2015, 08:28 PM

Any chance of getting the source code to the original Duke Nukem sidescroller (II would be a bonus)?

I feel like porting it, but it would be both easier and more accurate with original source on hand.

Was the source ever released, and if not, who would I (or we) would ask for it?

The source code was never released. No one knows where the source code is exactly.

Maybe someone could fix the scrolling. I kid because I love!

Doesn't exist. Many a moon ago I asked Allen Blum about it, and he said it used to be on floppy discs that were in his attic. Even if they existed I severely doubt they'd be readable after multiple summers in the Texas heat being in an attic.
