JFDuke3D

JFDuke3D is a port of the original Duke Nukem 3D source code, allowing you to play it comfortably on modern computers with a ton of quality-of-life improvements and other added benefits. To be able to play it, you will need the original game files, although you can easily use the free shareware version (available on the developer's website).

Very easy to set up

Before you can start playing, a small initial setup process is required. All you need to do is indicate where the original game files are stored on your device. JFDuke3D is compatible with practically all modern versions of Duke Nukem 3D, including: Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition (for Steam), Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition (for GOG), Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary World Tour (also for Steam), and of course any other version of the game for MS-DOS. Once you select the files, you can start playing without a hitch.

Single-player campaign and online play

JFDuke3D features the complete original Duke Nukem 3D campaign, with its three episodes, plus the fourth episode added in the Atomic Edition. On top of that, you can also play online. From the Launcher, you can create a new game to be the host or, if you have the current host's address, join their game. For the single-player campaign, all the original cheats still work, including the legendary DNSTUFF.

My experience with JFDuke3D

Duke Nukem 3D is one of the most fun first-person shooters of the '90s and, thanks to this open-source version, you can enjoy it better than ever on modern computers. JFDuke3D is a real gem for those who, like me, continue to enjoy this classic.

The best and worst of JFDuke3D

• What I like most about JFDuke3D is that it is very easy to install and configure. Once downloaded, you can start playing in under two minutes.

• The thing I like least about JFDuke3D is that, by default, the mouse is not configured in modern mode. You have to activate it from the Options menu.

Hail to the king, baby!
