Hexen II? I remember Hexen but there was a Hexen 2? Badass!!

I wish I could get all my old favorite dos games back and put them on my computer. I tried to run a dos game in dosbox but I couldn't mount the game right. It was 'Terminal Velocity'; it was pretty hard to find, and I didn't get a good copy. I kind of gave up on dos games after that.

are you running a front end program for dos box?  Makes it a lot easier to mount and play games, turns the text interface into a GUI so all you have to do is put in file locations and click a button, saves all your settings too so you only have to put the files in once and then you can just double click to launch the game.

I loved all the old apogee side scrollers, ah, the days of PC shareware games.  I'd go to computer shows and come home with tons of em.  Commander keen, jazz jackrabbit, all the crazy unofficial wolf3d mods that came out, good stuff :smile:

Duke Nukem 3D was the last video game I was ever really into (I still play Ms. Pacman and Galaga if I can find a quality machine).  I even played the original 2D versions 1 & 2.  I played it in school, on null-modems, and one of the first "PC Bangs" or private network-gaming retail locations here in Los Angeles called "The Matrix".  It was next to a McDonalds.  If only I'd had more disposable income at the time, I may never have left!  It's scary how much time I spent in those alien infested lands Duke Nukem patrolled so well.  I was so excited for "Duke Nukem Forever" when I first heard about it... back in grade school! 

And yet, I must admit, even after all of this R&R,  I'm still pretty fucking excited so many years later.  :heart:

I used to play the sidescrollers but never really got into the 3D ones.

I remember back when Duke Nukem Forever was SUPPOSED to come out. It gradually became one of the biggest jokes in the gaming industry. I'm curious to see what they're doing with it now. (and I have to admit I'm kind of excited)

Sounds like my experience too... calling your mates organising a modem game, tying up the family phone all night :rofl: My favourite levels were Fahrenheit and the train station one..

I got together with a few mates not long ago and played an internet game for old time's sakes. There's a third-party program for starting internet games now

I guess it looks alright but I mean 3D Realms has never been on top of the game here. I love duke 3d and still play it these days. Usually when you have to wait this long for anything especially a game, it turns out to be a total fucking bust. Brings back memories of Return to Castle Wolfenstien

This game is like The Loch Ness Monster, Big Foot, and Sasquatch Combined. Everyone is ALWAYS talking about it, but nobody knows if its actual real.

If this game does actually come out, I am sure by now it cant live up to the hype. Either way I honestly lost interest like 8 years ago.

Fun Facts

* In 1997, the fastest consumer internet connection was a 33.6 kbps modem. On average, consumer internet connections are 300 times faster today.
* When Duke Nukem Forever was announced, the fastest processor available to consumers was a 233Mhz Pentium. Since then the clock speed of consumer processors has increased over 16 times (32 times counting dual cores), and the fabrication process has decreased from 250nm to 65nm.
* In October of 2001, Apple announced the iPod and Slashdot dismissed it as an immediate failure. Since then there have been 5 generations of iPods, as well as the iPod Mini, iPod Shuffle, and iPod Nano with 42 million iPods sold worldwide as of 1/06.
* Steve Jobs was still running NeXT when Duke Nukem Forever was announced.
* Every peer to peer file sharing program including Napster was developed.
* In April of 1997, Google, eBay, and the term "weblog" didn't exist.
* Linux gained at least 10 times the popularity it had while its kernel tripled in size.
* Mac OS switched to UNIX and became the most highly regarded general purpose operating system on the market among the computing press.
* Microsoft released 5 consumer-oriented versions of Windows and might release a Vista service pack or two before Duke Nukem Forever hits shelves.
* Netscape Navigator 4 was released, Microsoft Internet Explorer destroyed it. Netscape 6 released on an entirely different rendering platform, Netscape dies, Mozilla foundation rises. Open-source Mozilla browsers become popular and force Microsoft to start working on new version of Internet Explorer.
* Valve releases Steam and sets a new standard in digital software distribution.
* MySpace has gone from beta to the largest social-networking site in the world (and the fourth most popular English language website).

Disasters:

* Two Boeing 767 airplanes crashed in to both World Trade Center towers, killing 2750 and spawning countless conspiracy theories.
* There have been 125 tropical cyclones. 73 hurricans in the Atlantic, 52 typhoons in the Pacific.
* There have been over 20 death-toll producing tornado outbreaks in the United States.
* Over 50 major earthquakes have shaken the world, which have shortened the Earth day by 2.68 microseconds.
* Hurricane Katrina wiped New Orleans off the map and killed 1,836 in the process.
* The fourth most powerful earthquake recorded since 1900 triggered a massive tsunami killing over 200,000 people in various countries bordering the Indian Ocean.

Economy:

* Adjusted for inflation, the average price of gas in the United States has doubled.
* The Euro was introduced as a new European currency.
* Enron has filed for bankruptcy and folded. Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling have been arrested on fraud charges and subsequently indicted and convicted. In addition, they will most likely be sentenced before Forever is released.

Movies that were filmed, released in theatres, and have made it to DVD:

That video was an extreme let down. How about some clear video of gameplay?

there was a trailer with actual gameplay maybe 5 years(or more) ago now...it dosen't surprise me that they are attempting to cash in on the hype finally

the graphics are far beyond what they were in the earlier trailer(which actually looked pretty good)

Oh i think i read that wrong. I thought he was comparing doom 3 to duke nukem forever since both were in production for nearly a decade and that he meant doom 3's graphic weren't good when they came out for the same reason. The graphics do look like doom 3's I guess.
