/vr/ - Retro Games

When people talk about the best FPS games, Doom, Quake, Half Life always appear on their lists, usually in high position. When you talk to your friends about FPS games, these oldies are treated seriously as something great.

But not Duke. Duke 3D rarely appears on the sharper end of the best FPS games list, it's considered an old joke, if you talk to a friend about it, he will look to you with some disdain smile.

"Yea that old game with the strippers and the chew bubble gum quote"

Why really? Duke has a great set of weapons, many serious, dark levels, great varied architecture (unlike stupid modern FPS games with their military wastelands or generic bases), charismatic enemies and all.

DNF curse or just aged badly I don't want to accept?

Here is an official survey. What are 4chan's top 10 maps for Duke Nukem 3D? You can include stuff from addons like Caribbean if you want.

Here is my take:

1. LA Rumble
2. Freeway
3. Pigsty
4. Red Light District
5. Golden Carnage (from World Tour)
6. Mirage Barrage (from World Tour)
7. Dark Side
8. Lunar Reactor
9. Derelict
10. Lunatic Fringe (it's just awesome technology!)
