A classic, rebuilt
RigelEngine concentrates on Duke Nukem II rather than Duke Nukem 3D. It supports the original episodes and adds options such as widescreen presentation and quicksaves. Shareware contains only part of the campaign. Supply the data from the edition you own when following the upstream installation guide, and keep shareware and registered files separate. Our planned browser adapter will need to preserve the game directory and its save files; we have not certified that integration.
What you need

Source & assets
