Out of the Blue

It turns out one of the odd anniversaries I mentioned yesterday was inaccurate. The first Duke Nukem Forever screenshot was not the old geezer shot mentioned yesterday, but rather this shot of an armed off-road vehicle (and a gun), as pointed out by Joe Siegler, who should know these things as he's been working at 3D Realms since before the invention of computers. For the record, the shot was actually released September 19/20 (late night), 1997. To make this all more on-topic, as mentioned yesterday, today is the fourth anniversary of the game's announcement, though the official 3D Realms DNF press release was not released until the following Monday (April 28). By the way, Joe also points out the old geezer's name is Gus, in case you ever run into him at a party.
