Duke Nukem 1 (FreeNukum ST)

nukum.mp4

Feature complete port of Duke Nukem, Episode 1 to Atari ST by Neil Rackett.

Introduction

1991 saw the arrival of two 90s icons: Duke Nukem and the Atari Mega STE, but sadly they never met... Until now!

To celebrate their 35th Birthday I've ported the full Episode 1 (shareware version) of Duke Nukem to the Atari ST: it runs on any ST with at least 2MB of RAM, and of course includes support for Mega STE features like Blitter and 16MHz mode.

A big thanks to the FreeNukum project, which this is based on (and goes way beyond).

System requirements

• Atari ST/STE, Mega ST/STE or TT
• 1MB RAM (experimental) - 2MB+ recommended
• ST low resolution
• A hard disk with the game files:
  • NUKUM.TOS
  • NUKUM\DATA\*.DN1 (see below)

Game data

The game requires the original game graphics and level data, extracted into the NUKUM\DATA folder alongside NUKUM.TOS.

The 1duke.zip file below is the freely distributable shareware version for DOS if you'd like to extract the files manually. Alternatively, run one of the installer scripts from the folder containing NUKUM.TOS to download and extract the files for you:

• macOS / Linux: sh installer/install.sh
• Windows: installer\install.bat
