Duke Nukem 3D Ported To Nokia N900

Posted by Soulskill on from the all-outta-gum dept.

andylim writes "It looks as if Duke Nukem isn't completely 'nuked' after all. Someone has ported the 90s classic on to a Nokia N900. As you'll see in the video, you control Duke using the Qwerty keypad and shoot using the touchscreen. I'm wondering how long it will take for this to get on other mobile platforms." In other Duke news, reader Jupix points out that 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller recently said, "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production."

  2. Did it even need to be ported for the N900? by JesseL · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's been available for the N810 for ages. I can't really imagine it needed much more than a recompile with some newer libraries.

    It does run well on DOSBox, and was indeed software-only. The only sort of "acceleration" it offered was the option to use VESA BIOS 2.0 video modes.

    FWIW I can run it on hardware with my Pentium-90 DOS game box & its Voodoo3 at 800x600x8 (its maximum) with acceptable framerates. It's not quite this fast in DOSBox on my C2D E6300 machine, but that's what lower resolutions are for.

    You should have just gotten new one using warranty. Since droid seems to get the same sort of bug, it is quite possible there is simply a bad batch of omap 3 processors going around.

    My N900 has been very stable. I've had it for over 5 weeks now and I've so far gotten a single reboot. That was when I was trying to open unsupported file with development version of KMplayer. Even then the phone just autobooted and everything was back to normal.

    I would have to say N900 is surprisingly stable for something so new and groundbreaking.

  5. Duke Nukem 3D: High Resolution Pack by naz404 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, meanwhile, you can relive Duke Nukem 3D in hi-res 3D glory with the Duke Nukem 3D: High Resolution Pack. All the sprites have been replaced with 3D models and the textures replaced with hi-res textures - you get to play it in a modern Windows environment with hardware OpenGL acceleration too.

    Enjoy! :)
