"Duke doesn't snipe or silence. He doesn't sneak or hide. He doesn't wear armor. He kicks alien ass. Lots of it, and he does it while drinking, smoking and saving babes along the way!"

Gearbox Software Files Lawsuit Against 3D Realms and Interceptor Entertainment
Gearbox Software has today filed a lawsuit against 3D Realms and Interceptor Entertainment for allegedly infringing on their Duke Nukem intellectual property rights and trademarks in producing 'Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction', a Duke Nukem title rumoured to be in development by Interceptor Entertainment with the involvment of 3D Realms, without any permission granted to either party by Gearbox Software or any legal right do to so granted to either party in the 2010 asset purchase agreement for the Duke Nukem intellectual property.
This case stems from efforts to illegally exploit Gearbox’s intellectual property rights in the Duke Nukem video game franchise. Specifically, Defendants Interceptor and 3DR have colluded to misappropriate and make infringing use of the Duke Nukem trademarks and copyrights owned by Gearbox.
'Exhibit C' of the filed complaint seems to discuss elements of the asset purchase agreement including 3D Realms retaining of the rights to several Duke Nukem titles that were in development at the time of the asset purchase by Gearbox Software that seem to include the Duke Nukem Trilogy that was in production by Apogee Software, LLC. at the time and another prior to now unheard of Duke Nukem game entitled 'Survivor'. 3D Realms claim that 'Duke Nukem: Survivor', title that they previously held the rights to under the asset purchase agreement, is the same as the 'Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction' title, simply using a different name, that was allegedly in development by Interceptor Entertainment and is the cause of the filed complaint against Interceptor Entertainment and 3D Realms.
Gearbox does not believe, as you reportedly claim, that this new project was formerly known as “Survivor”
Recently—and without consulting the Duke IP’s actual owner, Gearbox— Interceptor announced its intent to develop a Duke Nukem game based upon the variouscharacters, content and intellectual property owned by Gearbox; the proposed game is entitled “Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction.” Apparently, after selling its Duke Nukem IP rights to Gearbox in 2010, 3DR sought to privately convince others that the sale never happened. The result is the unauthorized development effort that reportedly exists between 3DR and Interceptor.
Meanwhile the 'All Out Of Gum' teaser website discovered earlier this month that previously displayed a countdown has been updated to display an 'Emergency Broadcast System' announcement accompanied by background audio that sounds reminicient of a scene from a science fiction film.

Joe Covers 20th Anniversary of Duke II
Category: Duke Nukem
by Yatta, on Wed Dec 04 2013, 06:06AM
Joe Siegler, former 3D Realms employee, reflects on the 20th anniversary of original Apogee games Duke Nukem II and Blake Stone. It's worth a read!It’s December 3rd, 2013. That means that 20 years ago, it was December 3rd, 1993. What is the big deal with that? Well, a company I worked for released two new games on that date. “Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold”, and “Duke Nukem II”. That’s right, Apogee (my Apogee, not the current one – from here referred to as just “Apogee”) put out a couple of new games that day. If I was still at my former job, this is the kind of piece I’d write for the website. But I’m not there anymore, and I didn’t want the dates to pass unremarked. So here we go. A few thoughts from me on these two titles.

Duke3D Multiplayer Beta on Steam Now!
Our friends BlackSpawn and Mikerz sent word today that Duke3D Megaton players on Steam can start beta-testing the muliplayer co-op and deathmatch modes of the game:
Just to let you know, the Multiplayer BETA for Duke Nukem MEGATON (Steam Version) is up. All you have to do is right click on the Duke Nukem Megaton game in your library, Select "Properties," click on the "Betas Tab" and choose"Public BETA."
I tried getting a game together with four people from the community, but it didn't work out due to lag. In the end, Phayzon and I, who both live in the United States, were able to get co-op working. Still, the multiplayer is in beta stages and international play might be difficult.
Above, Phayzon and I took screenshots of one another. Unbeknownst to us both, we happened to have shots of nearly the same exact moments after we compared our image files!
