ReDuke: Duke Nukem 1 for Windows

Here's something I started in April 2011: ReDuke

It's a re-engineered port of the original Duke Nukem game.

- runs natively in Windows
- supports all three Episodes
- High Scores and saved games are compatible with DOS versions
- supports high-quality graphics (four times higher resolution) and sounds

You'll need the data files from the original DOS games to play ReDuke.

Here's a video of ReDuke playing the preview demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLzTEn7EtZE
(the footage was recorded more than a year ago, so some of the minor issues have already been fixed)

That's awesome but you have way too much time on your hands ; ).

I didn't actually work on this for two full years.

This project started in April 2011 as an advanced level viewer (drawing the tiles and backdrops just like the original game did). Later, I implemented most of the actor code in about 3 months, which resulted in the video shown above. Then I didn't do anything for over a year, until the Duke Nukem 2 iOS thing came along. After adding some new features in my Duke Nukem II editor, I polished ReDuke, adding the fading operations, most of the missing menus, the optional high-quality resources and some other things I can't remember right now.
