The Duke is back...


...over at gameproarcade.com Yes, it is actually going to happen. Duke Nukem is coming back and he is going to hit the market hard. Apogee Software is brining back about 30+ of its classic titles as well as some new unannounced titles. Apogee of course has had success in other episodic releases with the releases of Commander Keen, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3-D, Raptor, and Rise of the Triad, just to name a few. Among one of the classic franchises, Duke Nukem is going to be brought back to life in 3 different missions known as the Duke Nukem Trilogy. Under a license agreement with 3D Realms and MachineWorks Northwest LLC the missions consist of three episodes: Critical Mass, Chain Reaction, and Proving Grounds. I for one am excited, considering I am a fan of the Duke Nukem series and I think this will bring back the franchise. An since Apogee is making handheld versions of the games, the series can have some new twist if it is ported to something like the DS or the PSP. They have stated that the games will be made available on both systems, as far as what the game is about we will have to sit back and wait. and hope for the best. With Apogee's track record I dont think we will have another Duke Nukem Forever on our hands. So expect more news and coverage as soon as it can be made available.
