A Look Back at Duke Nukem's Origins

Before Duke Nukem was in a vicious cycle of delays, he started out as a 2D-sidescroller. In fact, in his 2D days he also looked rather pleasant, always having a huge smile on his face. Now, he's a guy who has the intention of slapping women in multiplayer matches while chewing bubblegum.

Many people like the Duke, and if you want to know the backstory behind the series, the video below does a good job at informing you on just that. The short documentary features Randy Pitchford from Gearbox Software, Scott Miller of 3D Realms, and Allen Bum of Triptych Games just to name a few faces.
