Duke Nukem 3D

Aliens have invaded a cyberpunk Los Angeles, and it’s up to Duke Nukem to unleash chaos and kick them out. Building on the classic side-scrolling platformer roots, Duke Nukem 3D revolutionizes the franchise by delivering an immersive first-person shooter experience complete with stunning 2.5D graphics.

Duke’s impressive weaponry includes powerful pistols, explosive pipe bombs, laser trip mines, Nordenfelt firearms, a rapid-fire chain gun, and an array of rocket launchers, not to mention his iconic foot for taking down foes. The game features rich interactivity, allowing players to smash and engage with various elements in the environment, like pool tables, arcade machines, shatterable glass, light switches, and surveillance cameras. Additionally, Duke can interact with strippers by tossing them dollars to see some risqué action.
