It's a Duke Nukem 3D remake in OpenGL !! The good part is.. it runs natively on Linux! The bad part is.. you have to compile it from source (if you're not patient or determined to make it work)

I installed it myself it on hoary a while ago and it worked perfectly. Well, almost. I just had some major issues with music, as the game wouldn't play midi files for some odd reason. I missed the songs, (hey duke isnt the same without that kickass intro song) so i converted the midis to ogg vorbis and changed the code to play them instead and it worked.

Use dosbox instead of wine. Duke Nukem 3D and other DOS games will run fine in dosbox.

You need to download the timidity midi sequencer from the repositories to get sound to work. That also goes for playing it on DOSBox, I think?

Also another OpenGL port you might want to try is EDuke32, which can be found here:

In dosbox you don't need to install anything else to get sound and music working. Run the setup.exe that comes with duke3d and select soundblaster for both sound and music + default settings.

I'm sure the midi quality could be better, but that's part of the experience when playing old games for nostalgia's sake :)

BTW, kudos to whoever was involved in getting the duke3d source code released under the GPL =D>
