Bartzyx 01/02/21 4:31:44 PM #109:	#97 Duke Nukem II (MS-DOS, 1993) Most people know Duke Nukem as the vulgar, wise-cracking egomaniac from Duke Nukem 3D, but before that, he was just a tough-guy who jumped around in 2D platformers while shooting things. Duke Nukem II is a simple and violent action platformer with an incredible soundtrack that shamelessly rips off 80s metal songs. That was enough for young Bartz to think that this game was the absolute shit. While jumping and climbing around the environment, Duke collects guns and power-ups that help him to kill aliens. The 32 stages were very colorful and each one had a unique theme and palette, which was a pretty cool thing at the time. That being said, it was subject to many limitations that other PC games had at the time, meaning the scrolling was choppy, the sprites were overly large on the screen, and Duke of course suffered from console envy. I think technically it's not as a good a game as the first Duke Nukem was, but the improved style and atmosphere go a long way for me. --- At least your mother tipped well <cite>Bartzyx posted [p:949028749] in The Board ...
