As reflected in Joe Siegler's .plan update, today marks the fourth anniversary of the Duke Nukem 3D shareware. Boy, is that strange to me. It feels like just yesterday that my whole dorm floor went nuts over the game back in college. For the next few weeks you could always hear "come get some" or any number of "Dukeisms" coming out of somebody's room. Duke 3D was one of the last games of its type that had a full shareware episode, and boy did we play the heck out of it. It was a bit of a large download back then, but man did you get a lot from it. It's a miracle I managed to graduate at all.

To celebrate Duke's anniversary, here are some Duke-related links of the day. Enjoy!

Link of the Day: LameDuke. A real piece of history here, the version of Duke that never was (originally released on the first anniversary of the shareware release).
Bonus Link: The Duke Nukem (PSX) Outtakes. A personal favorite from way back when.
Bonus Link 2: Duke Nukem: Time to Grill. Hail to the chef, baby.
