After fourteen years of waiting, Duke Nukem Forever will be available on Friday, June 10th. It’s incredible, isn’t it? Think back to where you were fourteen years ago, and all of the things that have happened since. That entire time, people have been working on this game, undoubtedly in many different incarnations, vainly trying to produce what they deemed to be a worthy successor to Duke Nukem 3D.

In honour of this landmark release, Retro Gaming Australia has decided to dedicate this week to the Duke Nukem series. Over the next seven days, we’ll look at the history of the series, from Duke’s humble origins right through to Duke Nukem Forever, the failed attempts to get Duke onto the silver screen, the cameo appearances in other Apogee/3D Realms products, promotional materials and much more.
