Yeah, the Dukester was pretty awesome, I played him back in his original shareware game where he claimed to "Beat Nintendo easily" and would finish up with his enemies "In time to watch Oprah"
Then his much better sequel when he was kidnapped into space which had some rockin' beats in the boss levels.
Then Duke Nukem 3D in which he stole 90% of his lines from Ash in a game involving the rescue of strippers.
Then things got muddled with the Playstation "Time to Kill" the N64 "Zero Hour" a handheld game, a pinball game (Entitled "Balls of Steel") ("I don't have time to play with myself" Duke announces) and various other merchandise including a soundtrack and toys! Then the lackluster "Planet of the Babes" and finally a return to side scrolling in umm.. think it was called the manhatten project? Never played it. There was even talk of a movie starring the Rock. (Guess they went with "Doom" instead)
Anyway, yeah Duke has some history. Some of which I might have missed, but oh well, and yeah, the guy who looks like "Arh - nald" (especially from last action hero which actually came out after Duke) and talks like Ash (from Evil Dead if anyone isn't a movie buff)
Whoo, my fingers are getting sore, long story short, Duke needs a new, updated start in the same vein as Tomb Raider Legend. Only better, 'cause I personally thought that game sucked.
