Duke Nukem 3D: How to play it?

Post by demonofaj »

OK, I've playn Duke Nukem 3D, almost my whole god-forsaken life. And with modern videos I see, I see that people seem to move their view, meaning it's playing with a mouse (?). OK, I ALWAYS have played this game with only keyboard, so I'm asking you, on my shareware version, for somereason, I can't use the mouse? So how the heck do I play this game? :-\

*Tear*, thanks man.

Also, I'm having some well, problems with it...per se. My DN: 3D is the one from the PC Gamer May '01 issue. Apparently, everytime I press: Save and Launch Duke Nukem 3D, I see the Command Prompt screen loading, then the screen flashes black and back to desktop. I'm running this on a XP.

Edit: So if my official Shadow Warrior :(

Ten, yea, but then this problem came up. I fixed the problem, apparently, the VESA mode was not compatible, and I have to play in *shudder* 320x200. But that god-damn sound! I just can't get it to work in DN or SW. In SW they made some sort of 'patch', and I used it...no difference. Then I tried calibrating it using the CP file, and I set it to my SoundBlaster PCI card (the mod was supposed to fix PCI sound cards) and I get grindy sounds and S-L-O-W gameplay. Why 3D Realms? First DN-F is delayed, now this...curses!

for sound i just go into setup and set the sound card for general MIDI.

If you really like the game get the atomic edition. more levels and and a new gun. :twisted:

I'm not sure if this works on the demo but if you have the full version get the high resolution pack.

It is not junk! It is assorted goods with no current use.
