Duke Nukem 3D

Duke Nukem 3D is a port of the PC game, released only in Brazil. It was developed in-country by licensed distributor Tectoy in the late '90s for a market where the original Sega Master System and Mega Drive continued to sell well into the 2010s. The game's reduced visuals and performance may have been seen as a necessary compromise to reach the Sega console's large and active install base there.
According to Tectoy president Stefano Arnhold, the port's first-person perspective was adapted from the labyrinth camera used in Phantasy Star for the Master System, which the company had previously localized into Portuguese. This development allowed the game cartridge to omit 3D add-in chips, which would have been prohibitively expensive.

Genesis Duke Nukem 3D by Dimon12321 in 20:03.75


 Watch
This version of Duke Nukem 3D was released exclusively in Brazil. The gameplay is fundamentally the same and has the player blasting invading aliens from Duke's point of view. It consists of nine levels based on the PC's Lunar Apocalypse episode and a range of enemies and weapons from the original game. The difficulty has been raised significantly, and the framerate is noticeably reduced. The port also makes heavy use of scanlines and a smaller window size to reduce the overall render load.
Dimon12321 follows the fastest path through each of the maps, and moves extra quickly by running and strafing at the same time.
The baseline tab shows the default movie beating the game as fast as possible without any special conditions.
