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."

  1. Maybe a DN-could-be-forever? by mlts · · Score: 3

    I'd be tickled pink to see a sequeal of DN3D, even if it isn't the legendary DNF, but "just another " Duke Nukem game. Save the legendary title for something else, find a decent 3D engine, and allow us cool places to read the daily newspaper again.

      Duke Nukem: Unsatisfied Husband Edition

      After saving the world, Duke becomes castrated in an unhappy marriage to Samus Aran and is forced to drift from bar to bar giving strippers handsome tips. The ability to drink beers and become intoxicated was borrowed from Deus Ex for a more realistic experience.

  2. Agh! by sunami88 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does anyone else just grimace when they see "Duke Nukem"-anything related news anymore? I was 7 when Duke Nukem 3d came out, and although freaking awesome, what of note has the franchise done since?

    Been a bucketload of fail, and a waste of terabytes of useless "news" stories posted on the internet.

    Can we just call this one, guys? Time of death: 2005 (and that's being GENEROUS ).

      Just you wait until the new Duke Nukem, DNF, comes out, you'll eat those words!

    It has been ported to Windows CE (aka Windows Mobile) for years now. And some quick googling revealed that a previous Symbian port is readily available on the 'nets and has been for several years now (http://duke-nukem-3d.en.softonic.com/symbian), along with Palm and Blackberry counterparts. The game has also made its way to just about every games console since the PS1. I fail to see why this article is in any way news.

  4. Port? Or Dosemu? by JSBiff · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the N900 basically run Linux? I believe that Duke 3D is old enough that it runs very well under something like dosemu , doesn't it? I mean, wasn't Duke 3D one of the last games to use a pure software renderer instead of hardware accelleration?

      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.

  5. 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.
