Duke Nukem 1: Episode 1 | 1991 | Damn... the first one! | 4k CRT Simulation
0Shortplay of the game Duke Nukem 1, the MS-DOS game by Apogee Software.
GAME INFO:
Duke Nukem I, known simply as Duke Nukem in official game documents, is the side-scrolling computer game for the PC that started the Duke Nukem franchise. It was developed by Apogee Software, who published it on July 1, 1991. Duke Nukem was followed by Duke Nukem II in 1993.
The game takes place in the then future world of 1997 (which was the "near future" at the time of game release), in which Dr. Proton, a once sane scientist named Blunderwitz but now a radiation-altered madman, is determined to take over the world. He plans to accomplish this by using his army of Techbots, advanced, mechanized killing machines designed for the singular goal of annihilation. The first stage of his takeover bid was Earth's largest city. All resistance and counter-attacks attempted by the military met with failure. Thus as a final resort, the CIA hires the eponymous hero and Ultimate Alien Butt-Kicker Duke Nukem to stop Dr. Proton's plans.
The first episode (Shrapnel City) finds Duke in the devastated city, blasting his way through the urban streets swarming with Techbots.
GAME RECORDING INFO:
The game was emulated at Retroarch, using DOSBOX core. It was integer scaled to 4k, without bi-linear filtering, and retaining the original aspect ratio (display aspect ratio, not internal resolution). And captured using shader / filter that simulates the image of a CRT monitor screen. I also use a bezel above the game, a 3D scenario with a PC, to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
