I can understand that you start to doubt if there ever will be a DN4EVER. 
I'm a software developer myself and I know creating software takes years, 
but over 10 years is very very long. They do however still annonce and there 
was a teaser made. Also, they have made other games since then, so dead, 
they are not. There has been a recent Duke Nukem game, b.t.w., namely 
Manhattan projects.

I use a Pentium 4 HT, 3.2GHz system running XP, and I still every now and 
then play Duke (under DosBox). I also play other older games. Being old 
doesn't make it bad. Am I suppost to stop liking a game because it run out 
of fashion? Duke Nukem 3d is out dated as far as graphics is concerned, but 
all the current fps games are nothing better than Duke3d, they just look 
more realistic, but the fun factor is missing.

I don't know about Rocky, and I can understand that the once great following 
of Duke3d is shrinking. I hope they will release a new Duke Nukem game or 
another game this has the fun factor. And liking an old game does not mean 
you live in the past.

Manhattan projects IS great. Very original and really cute 3D.... 

I was one of the first suckers who purchased the Manhattan Project when it 
first came out.
Don't know why you would say it's "original"?  It was a major step back in 
gaming technology, going from a simulated 3 dimensional game back to a 2 
dimensional layout, 2D is what put Apogee on the map 10 years earlier.

Manhattan Project was a huge disapointment and 3D Realms did nothing more 
than use Duke3d's previous sucess to market a game that took a step back in 
time. It was nothing more than a way to generate revenue and it was my first 
realization that 3DRealms was creating nothing more than hype with their 
outdated games.

I still don't get Max Payne, the only reason why I bought it was because 3D 
Realms developed it. Another waste of money.
