Duke Nukem 3D/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Banned in China: On June 29, 1996, Duke Nukem 3D was put on the infamous German index by the BPjS.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • 3D Realms considered doing a first person sidescroller game. Thankfully, this idea was scraped.
    • There's also "lameduke", an early beta of the game. Thank your lucky stars that they decided to rethink the entire game concept. A map (Derelict) survived the purge though.
    • Action Forms was going to release a urban hunting game called Duke Nukem: Endangered Species, a spinoff of Duke Nukem 3D. It was scrapped.
    • The Pig Cop was originally supposed to be able to hit the player with their Shotgun, but 3D Realms dropped the idea, since it was not working in the game. This concept was rescued later for Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, which features the Pig Cops.
