Difference in between Atomic Edition and the Plutonium Pak?

Hey fellow Dukers,

I notice that there were these patches/expansions released for Duke 
Nukem 3D and was wondering what they add to the game? I run my Duke 
Nukem 3D with JonoF's awesome Windows Port program, yet apparently it is 
just the original edition.

Were these expansions freeware where you can download them off the WWW? 
If so, where can I find these?

Thanks.
Cory

As I recall the Plutonium Pak was an upgrade to the origional Duke Nukem 3D
which added new fourth episode The Birth. The Atomic version was everything
on one CD. You only need DUKE3D.GRP file for the JonoF port. The game
(Atomic) is still for sale and not freeware but I am sure it is available on
peer-to-peer networks or eBay.

The patches only work for 1.0 to 1.3d, and from 1.4 to 1.5.  

The bridge between 1.3d and 1.4 would be the Plutonium Pak, which is only
available as a commercial addon.   Alternativly, you can purchase the
atomic edition, which contains the Plutonium Pak and 1.5 patch.

As much as I'd like it to be (even if it were the 1.5 patch without the
expansion), they aren't available legally.

Hey,

Thanks for the replies fellas. One last query: I was able to get the 
Atomic Edition ver 1.4, and f it is to my understanding, I have all the 
features of the Plutonium Pak with this. Now, with this in mind, is 
upgrading to 1.5 via the patch on 3DRealms site worth it? What does it 
do to the game?

Thanks.

Cory

I don't know offhand, but I recommend getting the patch.  Most players
around use the patch anyway, and most mods generally require 1.5 as a base
version.

Hi Shinnokxz,

The 1.4 version is buggy. What you should do is download the 1.5 patch
program from 3D Realms and use THAT program to install the Plutonium Pack
CD. In other words, DON'T use the installer on the Plutonium Pack CD at all.

If you bought the Atomic version of Duke, then you already have version 1.5
(it will say which version you have in the startup screen.)
