Believe it or not, I actually have Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniverary
edition *installed*.
Now you are going to make me actually play it! :-)
Me, I've all the original versions installed on disk as part of my
ultimate dos game collection, /and/ I have the classic editions on
Steam and GOG from before Gearbox demanded their version be the only
one available, so I can happily avoid their hacked up edition. ;-)

That said... the 20th anniversary is on sale now for $2USD on Steam. I
am now caught between two overwhelming and competing forces: the urge
to avoid gearbox crap, and the need to grab a game that's has a 90%
discount. Quick, somebody call my Gaming Anonymous sponsor; I don't
think I have the willpower to resist! ;-)

I remember downloading from a FTP server, playing, and uploading to a local BBS in the dark with my dorm roommie asleep. LOL! Do you remember its release day, old PC gamers?
