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."

    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.

  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.

    what of note has the franchise done since?

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