You're not just a soulless commando fragging for the sake of fragging. They made the game irreverent and raunchy which, ironically, gives your character purpose. When Apogee decided to turn Duke Nukem into a first person shooter, they decided that it should set itself apart from the pack by bringing Duke's attitude with it.

So, give or take, Duke Nukem 3D sure is worth a revisit, but I'd suggest you try the Atomic Edition directly. The enemies, all wacky cartoonish aliens, sprite based put on a relatively good challenge. The game reuses its tilesets, manages to create corridors well but nothing else much. Graphically, the game is well stationed in the kind of environments that you will know as crude Doom like interiors, and few outside, poor looking exteriors. What am I talking about? I am talking about some motorcycle racing, some puzzle solving and some one liners spewed by the protagonist from time to time. The game has a simple, straightforward recipe: you shoot the aliens with the best and the meanest weapon you have at your disposal at the time while everything else is just a second thought in the equation, rather an afterthought just meant to give the game a little more depth. And also, enough to let the developers keep us waiting for the better part of more than 15 years, until a new Duke game would be released! (Though a few other games in the series, starring Duke would be released in the meantime, truth be told) But, for the time being, Duke did not aspire to be the best and the greatest, he just wanted to shoot aliens in the face while getting hunk cute with the ladies. Duke Nukem 3D and the buffer version, Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, make up a staple of first person shooting gaming similar to what Doom had brought forth, but with enough original ideas to put the series on the map.
