00:00Hail to the king, baby! Duke Nukem 3D turns 30 today. Duke Nukem began as two modestly
00:05successful 2D platformers in the early 1990s, but Duke Nukem 3D made the leap to 3D graphics
00:11using similar technology to Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, helping to popularise the first-person
00:15shooter. Its first episode was released as Shareware on January 29th 1996, with the full
00:21game arriving in April that year. Duke Nukem 3D is praised for its open-ended level design,
00:26interactivity and pop-culture satire, not to mention the iconic voice of John St. John
00:29as Duke. Hail to the king, baby! But it also drew criticism for its violence, adult themes
00:35and portrayal of women. What's your favourite Duke one-liner? Let us know in the comments.
