Duke Nukem 3D came out thirty years ago today. Well, technically, the shareware episode released; the full game wouldn't drop for another couple months. Nonetheless, by any real metric,
Duke Nukem 3D's birthday (and Duke as a cultural phenomenon) is today. I'd been wanting to write up a quick something to mark two years since I
started this blog and I guess this is as good an excuse as any. While this is not a formal review of
Duke 3D (that won't be for a while) I did want to talk a little about the game and its impact on me.
