I just ftp'ed secret agent... is it me, or does this game SUCK??

I loved Duke Nukem (and Keen 2), so I was very disappointed.  

BTW - I bought the other 2 Duke Nukem games.. both very good, but
more of the same as Duke 1.  I kinda hoped for some new enemies, because
unless I was drastically outnumbered, it wasn't much of a challenge.

I hated the conveyor-belt maze.  Bleah.  Took me forever.

It's just you ;)

Seriously, it's just different.  It's very much like Crystal Caves.  The
movement style is a bit different.  That's the most fundamental thing.  And
there is perhaps more emphasis on maneuvering than shooting.  But it can
still be a pleasant evening.  It was for me.

I felt exactly the same way.  (I also bought the other 2
parts of Duke.)  Secret Agent lasted about 5 minutes on the
HD.  Cosmic Cosmo is by the same guy that did Duke, it's
neat, has AdLib music too (I guess Duke didn't have it, I
didn't have a sound card when I played Duke).  

Any that conveyor-belt maze was a pain.  Killing Dr. Doom
after going through that thing was an anti-climax.
