    GOG. Duke Nukem 3D free today

    Looks like they have Duke Nukem 3D for free today, so if you want to relive your childhood, here's a good chance

    Runs fine with WINE as far as I could tell, from playing the first 2 levels.

    Grabbed it last night when a random Gamespot article happened to mention it. (Been meaning to setup a GOG account anyway; once I'm in a position to buy more games, I'm going on a small digital shopping spree. > : D) The installer doesn't seem to working under WINE, but whenever I get around to booting back into Windows, I can finally see what all the buzz around the Duke Nukem games is about.

    Strange, it ran fine for me. Well, in any event, it's worth checking out, even if you do have to boot into Windows to do so

    Thanks for telling us about it; I've been a GOG.com customer for several years, and they do occasionally offer free games. Currently, they have a MAJOR holiday sale going on.

    isn't this a DOS game? DosBOX should work with it.

    there is also a port that aims to enhance the experience a bit. perhaps it has linux version.
    Read the easy to understand, lots of pics Ubuntu manual.
    Do i need antivirus/firewall in linux?
