"Damn, I'm looking good!"

Here's your chance to play good old Duke Nukem for free! Gog.com is running a special promotion where you can get it for free with no strings attached apart from a timer which is 48 hours so grab it quickly!

The good news is it is fully playable in the open source engine made specifically for it called EDuke32 - you need this to run it on Linux.

This game I have fond memories of when I was younger and even recently I tried it in EDuke32 and it works really great just like the original!

Here is a video of it running with a higher resolution pack:

So GOG are distributing Linux binaries? That's fantasic!

Edit: I'm a little confused. Does the GOG version use EDuke3D, or is it just that you could use the free GOG version with it (in the way that you could use Linux FS2_Open binaries with Freespace bought from GOG)?

The GOG link looks busted by the way ^_^

No as noted in my post you need EDuke32.

Ah, no worries. It seemed to read as though you were saying that the GOG version used that.

Great news ! I never played Duke Nukem before, so I'll try.
I found an alternative installation method : add Duke Nukem 3D to your GOG account from their website. Then launch an up-to-date version of PlayOnLinux. In PlayOnLinux, search for Duke Nukem 3D, select download from the web, and everything will be installed using your GOG credentials.
I found that process extremely neat !

Playing with EDuke3D will result in a superior experience though. Although boss battles are ridiculously easy with mouse-look. :D
