75-90% off Duke Nukem 1+2, Duke Nukem 3D, Balls of Steel, Manhattan Project.

The Duke. Men want to be him, women want to be with him. The manliest of men, the ultimate male role model. He's been kicking ass on GOG.com for years, but on December 31 2015, Duke has to step out to get more bubble gum. On that day, all Duke Nukem games on GOG.com will be removed from our catalog, but we are in talks with the new rightsholders to bring them back as swiftly as possible. That's why we bid you a <span class="bold">farewell for now, Duke</span>: with every Duke Nukem game at 90% off as a bundle, or -75% individually.




The Duke's humble beginnings lie with Duke Nukem 1 + 2, two explosively cool run-n-gun platformers where Duke kicks his very first alien ass, travels in time, and authors "Why I'm SO Great" - a retrospective and autobiography. All in the year 1997, a dystopian near-future.

Years later, on January 29, 1996, our time: Duke makes history. Total meltdown follows the release of Duke Nukem 3D in which we finally see the world through the man's eyes. It's a world of pornography, violence, and candid obscenity. Duke's world. And we are entranced. By the campy risque, and by the unadulterated joy of Duke's violent adventures and one-liners.

Then, for years Duke rides the hype-train: in 1997, we behold his Balls of Steel - a pinball game warmly welcomed for its smooth, realistic physics and plenty of Duke on the side. In the year 2002, Duke goes back to basics in Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, a modern 3D sidescrolling platformer that's nothing if not a fun and mindless pleasure.




This is not where the Duke Nukem legacy ends, but it is where we part ways - for now. So <span class="bold">Farewell, Duke</span>! The sale will last until December 31, 10:59 AM GMT. The games will be removed from sale soon thereafter, but they will not disappear from your shelf if you're an owner.
Come get some.







Last chance to get Dragonsphere for free.
With the start of the new year, Dragonshpere will no longer be a free game on GOG.com due to new publisher agreements. If you haven't claimed a copy for yourself, make sure to do so by December 31, 22:59 PM GMT - afterwards the game will be regularly priced at $5.99.

If you haven't yet, you can also check out our catalog of gaming freebies, where you'll find classics like Beneath a Steel Sky, Biomenace, Ultima IV and ten more!
Why does paypal keep denying my purchase ? It happened twice in a row now .
Thanks 3D Realms/Apogee/GoG for the heads up!

boooo girlbox..
Time to grab Balls of Steel.

nightcraw1er.488: My question is, why is a currently free game now going to be charged at 5.99? Why on earth would anyone ever pay for it?
That's not the right question. The right question is why such a good game was free in the first place. Dragonsphere certainly deserves the price tag of 5.99.

Fuck you, Gearbox.

It was worth a lot more when I brought the big box way back when. However, whilst is a great game, its not worth that kind of price now, especially seeing as its been free from several stores for so long.

This. Watching recent attitudes toward pricing, I can't even say with any certainty that the 0.00 price tag helped to popularize the game in any measurable manner: if anything, free as in beer games are perceived to be worse than they really are (e.g. Heroine's Quest).
It quite bizarre considering GOG is the ideal market place for these games.
I feel the only time Steam-users buy older games like this is when they want to mock them in videos.

I bought the whole package, I had most of them on my to-buy list anyway.
Good luck with selling Dragonsphere now. After years of being free here I'm sure there will be an endless line of people just throwing money at the screen.
Terrible news. The Duke games are all excellent games. Though when I played it recently, 3D was showing its age. Still a fun game, though, with unique level design. Get them while you can.
At least Dragonsphere was still here for free because of an old deal gog had. On steam they have been charging for it for a longer time already.
We need to learn how to make topic title breaks like that :)


ps: What happens to gift purchases that are unredeemed after the year ends?

Ummmmmm, GOG already stated that they were currently negotiating with the new rights holders. Isn't it a little too early to be spewing venom, bile and hate at Gearbox at this time?
Argh! What a bullshit.

Good luck talking to GearBox, GOG, something tells me you really gonna need it.

Those were the days, my friend...
