Two new Duke Nukem Forever Screenshots!
As we've been telling you, this past week, Duke Nukem 3D was released on the Xbox LIVE Arcade. One of the features of the game was a cool concept art gallery. It was tied into the Xbox 360 Achievement system. As you got more achievements, you would unlock more old concept art. However, if you completed the game, and got all 200 Gamerscore, the entire art gallery would be unlocked, revealing two new Duke Nukem Forever screenshots that had not been released anywhere before.
These shots leaked out to the net over the weekend, so we decided to bring you some official versions of the shots. You don't want to read us talking about them, so let's get to the shots..
Click on the thumbnails above for larger versions of the pictures!

Duke Nukem 3D (DOS) Price Drop
The response to the XBLA release of Duke Nukem 3D has been quite spectacular - far greater than we had thought it would be. In celebration of this new release, we have decided to drop the price of the PC original. We still sell the good old classic PC version of Duke Nukem 3D, and effective immediately, we have dropped the price.
The purchase price for Duke Nukem 3D for the PC is now $10 (down from the previous $19.95). This is the Atomic Edition v1.5, which we have been selling since late 1996. If you have never checked out the original version, you can do so for a cheaper price!
A few caveats about that - this is the DOS original, and if you have Windows XP (or Vista), you can run into a few problems with running old DOS games there. There are a few third party programs available which can assist in this matter.
First is DOSBox, a program that will let you play most every DOS game better on XP/Vista. Not only can that help with the original Duke3D, it can help you run most any of our older legacy titles.
The other option is JFDuke3D. A few years back, we released the source code for Duke Nukem 3D, and Jonathan Fowler created a Windows version of the PC original. You need the Atomic Edition to run JFDuke, but it is worth it if you have problems running the DOS original.
So if you have never checked out the original Duke Nukem 3D on your computer, you can do so now at a cheaper price! Order today!

Duke Nukem 3D XBLA Theme
As we noted yesterday, other items were released besides Duke Nukem 3D itself on Xbox LIVE Arcade. We also released some gamer pic packs and a theme. We've had several requests for pictures showing what the theme looks like. This news item is an answer to those requests.
Here are four pictures, showing the theme on the four blades it is used on (Xbox LIVE, Games, Media, & System). The fifth blade (Marketplace) is not customizable by themes, so there's no picture of that. Click on any of the thumbnails to see a larger version.
Additionally, there are three picture packs. George Broussard had posted a screen capture of some of the pic packs from his Twitter feed, you can see that picture below. It is not all of the pictures, but is a sample from all three packs.

Duke Nukem 3D Walkthrough Now Available!
 Do you find yourself consistently lost in Duke Nukem 3D? Can you never get 100% on the levels? If you've always wondered where the fifth secret is in the Tiberius Station level, how to get your way out of Derelict without pulling your hair out, or how to find the Indiana Jones, Snake Plissken, or Capt Picard gags in the game, well, this is for you.
In honor of the release of Duke Nukem 3D Available now is the official walkthrough for Duke Nukem 3D from 3D Realms. This will show you how to complete every level in the game, where all the secrets are, and probably teach you a few things here and there that you never knew about the game.
This walkthrough works for both the PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game. The screenshots themselves are technically from the Xbox 360 version of the game, but with one minor exception in a single level, they're the same maps, so you can use them on both versions.
This was something that was long overdue on our site, but with the release of the game on Xbox Live Arcade, we thought now was the time. You can view the walkthrough here: http://legacy.3drealms.com/duke3d/walkthrough/index.html
We also have walkthroughs for Shadow Warrior & Max Payne 1 on our website too.

A couple of late night Duke 3D Updates
Late Friday night a few things happened relating to Duke Nukem 3D we wanted to bring you.
First off, is a multiplayer preview of the game from IGN. A couple of days ago, some of us at 3D Realms played against some guys from IGN, TeamXbox.com, & Gamespy for some online Duke play. First, we started off with about four levels in co-op, and then moved on to some Dukematch in probably the two most played Dukematch levels of all time, those being Hollywood Holocaust & Stadium. George posted a few screenshots from these games on his Twitter feed, so check 'em out (1 / 2) if you haven't. Their review talks about one of the guy's accounts playing against us, and we all had a great time. The game went well, we had lots of fun, and had no lag, either. Great times. IGN's rather personal review of the multplayer session can be read online here. Sometimes reviews on sites such as IGN and the like feel disconnected, this one does not. So much so that one of the things the IGN guys did was something that most of us at 3D Realms had not tried in the game, so that was pretty cool. You'll enjoy the review.
Second is the note that the official Xbox.com Duke Nukem 3D page has now gone live. It has some screenshots and information about the game. Go check it out over at Xbox.com here:

Duke Nukem 3D to arrive on Sep 24th
If you were watching last night, you saw Duke Nukem 3D make a short appearance on the latest episode of Gametrailers TV on the Spike TV channel. You also saw the big news about Duke...
Duke Nukem 3D for the Xbox LIVE Arcade will be released on Wednesday Sep 24th!
The number of points the game will cost has not yet been announced by Microsoft, so we cannot bring you that info. But it will be here in a very short time. Generally Xbox LIVE Arcade games are released at 2AM Pacific Time on the release date, but that can vary. You will want to keep your eyes peeled to Major Nelson's website, where things like that are generally announced in detail.
We will have our own page for the site up shortly, which will have lots of cool info. In the meantime, if you'd like to discuss the game, you can participate in our forums here, or on the Duke3D section over on xbox.com.
Finally, if you'd like to see the episode of Gametrailers TV from last night with the announcement, you can view it online here at the show's website for free!

Duke Nukem 3D on GameTrailers TV!
As we edge closer to the release of Duke Nukem 3D for the Xbox Live Arcade, some big coverage is starting to happen. Like this one. Gametrailers TV will be running a feature on the game this coming weekend. Gametrailers TV is hosted by an old friend of our company, Geoff Keighley. Geoff will be covering Duke Nukem 3D during the news segment of the show. In addition to talking about the game, Geoff will be showing some footage. I'd expect something cool, as Geoff is an old school gaming fan.
Also on this episode of the show is coverage from the PAX Expo, and first footage of Need for Speed Undercover, as well as the first footage of playable zombies in Left 4 Dead. However, if you're reading this on the 3DR site, then your primary focus will be Duke Nukem, and we've been told Duke fans will enjoy this news segment.
The show can be seen on Spike TV. Spike TV is available on DirecTV, Dish Network, and most cable carriers. Check your local listings for the exact channel in your area. This particular episode will be airing on Friday night at 1AM Eastern Time (this is Friday night going into Saturday). However, after it airs, it will also be available a few places online.
Some time Saturday during the AM, the episode will appear on the Xbox LIVE Video Marketplace in their TV section. Additionally, the episode will be available to watch on gametrailers.com at 1:30AM Pacific Time on Saturday the 13th. If you do not have access to Spike, you will want to make use of these other venues. If you do have Spike, set your TiVo!
And oh yeah, by the way.... Gametrailers TV will be world premiering the release date for the game in this episode, so you will definitely want to tune in for that!
