PFft...this game is so old, that I know people who were pining for it back in the day, no longer play games now, but would still buy this...FOR THEIR KID. Yes, it's that old. Seriously they should just let this title die. Or maybe stick it inside a newer title as an easter egg. Or maybe do a 90s FPS compilation with things like Rise Of The Triad and the original Duke Nukem 3d. Or, just let it die and fade into obscurity with what little dignity i has left. > If anything, I could see a host of people buying it simply because of the > history, and then being disappointed. Maybe they could release every version - in whatever state it was before the rewrites happened - in one big mega pack! Yes, it's Duke Nukem Forever - the CVS archives. Wanna play the game circa 1998? No problem! How about the build from April 2, 2004? There you go! Whee! -- It's not broken. It's...advanced.
