Duke Nukem II

Duke Nukem II is the second entry of the Duke Nukem videogame series.

Duke's actions in the first game drew the attention of the Rigelatins, an alien race who wanted to enslave the earth, captured him, and planned to use his brain to mastermind their attack. After breaking free from his cell, he takes the fight to the Rigelatins, trouncing them handily before returning home.
