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!

Grargar: No.
Hmm OK. Don't really care anyway, the main thing from that anthology I'm interested in is the DRM free Commander Keen series.

Is it the Atomic edition, the same as GOG?

Yes.
That is Duke luck. Maybe Gearbox will make something with this ip.

Give the guy a break, think about how difficult it must be to bale hay with a torch...

Yeah, what he said...

nightcraw1er.488: Beamdog are the delightful people who brought us bg with a widescreen at £many, then made a dlc which was only for thier version, I.e. Money grab.
"And they have beamdog here," was shorthand for those complaints? Okay...

HunchBluntley: Because the Descent series removal (which didn't affect the Freespace games...) was last minute, and the didn't have time or permission to do a "last call" discount like this. They might well have been barred from even mentioning at all that the games were being removed until after it had happened. Legal hocus-pocus and all.

Marioface5: I understand that sometimes they can't offer a last-chance discount. What I find odd is that didn't bother making a front-page announcement to let everyone know that the games had been removed at all. A forum thread was made here but that doesn't help people who don't check the forums regularly. Heck, I do check the forums regularly and I never saw that thread before. I guess it's not really a big deal, but I still think that GOG should be keeping everyone updated with things like this instead of hiding the news in a forum thread.
Making a news post after the fact to let people know they couldn't buy the games that were already gone? What would be the point of that? They're a business -- good marketing and positive publicity are important. It sucks for all involved when a game gets pulled, but at least in a case like the Duke games they have a chance to put a positive spin on it -- "Hey, at least we're offering you a discount before they go bye-bye!" But in cases where they're forced to keep mum till AFTER the games are gone, putting up a big notice on the front page saying, basically, "These games are gone now, sucks to be you if you didn't get them before" is all downside, no upside. I mean, look how much vitriol has been spewed in response to this news post, which is giving three days' notice to get the games at a steep discount. Now imagine what the response to an ex post facto notification of removal would be.
I totally agree that major changes to things like store policy, or site functionality, or the permanent removal of games from people's libraries, should be announced via a prominent news post on the main page, but the removal of a handful of individual games from sale in the store? Not so much. Also, as I said, they may well not have been allowed to speak of the removal of (for example) the Descent games until after the fact. There are always gonna be legal contracts that we have no clue about, and about which they are forbidden to elaborate.

Unless you're a pyromaniac, in which case it'd be great fun!

I wouldn't be too surprised if this was the case. They already know many people want to know ahead of time if a game is likely to be removed.

CARRiON.FLOWERS: Look at my ass.

Do it. NOW.
If we start, we may never stop.

Wait... what was this thread about again?
Just to be clear, only the games that are on sale are leaving, and games like Blood and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure are safe, right?

jcoa: Just to be clear, only the games that are on sale are leaving, and games like Blood and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure are safe, right?
Blood and Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure were nothing more than speculation because they featured a no-name cameo by Duke Nukem. Thing is, there are a lot of games with cameos here (like Lara Croft in the old Shadow Warrior and Godzilla in the new Shadow Warrior) and they won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

Bye Duke hope you come back soon. Gearbox if your listing please return Duke to his rightful place thanks
We will be waiting for the return of Duke Nukem franchise along with Duke Nukem Forever and The Doctor Who Cloned Me.

orbika: OK, I buyed the whole Duke package ... at that price, boy oh, boy :)
Amen to that!
Great another game series that when they return you will probably have "classic " versions and the new ones and it will look as if you don't own them.
