Introduction
Duke Nukem 3D is a well-known first-person shooter that arrived very late in the DOS era of gaming, 1996. It started life as a shareware game, with just the first episode released, but 5 months later the remaining two episodes had been completed, so anyone who registered their game got the full release which included copies of Duke Nukem 1 and 2 as well. The Atomic Edition arrived at the end of 1996 which featured a new fourth episode. In the subsequent years, several official or approved add-on expansion packs were released, including Duke it Out in D.C. (1997), Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach (1998), and Nuclear Winter (1998).
