Santa came early!

Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition, the legendary FPS in which the Earth's greatest hero provides a steady flow of bullets and badass one-liners, is available on GOG.com, for the low price of one smile, for the next 48 hours. That's not all. For the first time in history, this supreme space-alien slaughter simulation is also available on Mac!

The Mayans have warned us: the world is in grave danger. Some think it's going to be a giant meteor, a solar storm, a super-volcano, or a lethal plague. But the gamers of planet Earth know better than that! That's right. We know the real truth. We're onto you, space-aliens. We've seen through your plot. Pretending that you don't exist, hiding your massive fleet near Uranus, and planning to strike on 12.21.12. So you think you can invade our planet and live to tell the story to your slimy bug-eyed grandmaggots? Well, think again. We've got Duke Nukem. And what have you got? Lasers? Plasma cannons? Mutant beasts? Deathrays? You make us laugh. Ha. Ha.

Have you seen Duke Nukem 1+2, the classic run-and-gun platformers? That's how the legend began. Just a few years later, its successor Duke Nukem 3D became a milestone in the development of the FPS genre, and an unquestioned highlight in its protagonist's career. Never before and never after have we witnessed such an unprecedented mix of explosive action, comedic brilliance, and sheer badassdom. In the department of pure awesomeness, Duke Nukem 3D holds the crown, and so it shall be--forever. With creative level design, memorable foes, unique weapons, and an iconic outspoken hero, this game is a true monument to gaming fun. The Atomic Edition lets you duke it out even longer, as it contains the bonus fourth episode, complete with a new weapon and previously unseen enemies!

Now you can witness all the badass FPS magnificence of Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition for free, both on Windows and (for the first time ever!) on Mac OSX, so come get some! Hurry up, though--the offer won't last FOREVER. In fact, WHEN IT'S DONE, it's done. That will be Friday, December 14, at 14:59 GMT.

Happy atomic holidays from GOG.com team!

Yes.

GameRager: I don't think the installers ever had an option to choose your own DosBox install....most people just manually add(ed) their own DosBox installs to their installed GOG games.

SirPrimalform: Of course they did. I used it and that's why I'm noticing its absence. :P
Can we get a second confirmation on this.....anyone? I ask as I never saw it..........or at least I don't recall having seen such a feature on the older installers of DosBox games.
Thanks for big gift GOG. Happy holidays to you ;)
This was such an awesome surprise.
I have some heavy Christmas memories of this game and thanks to GOG's generosity I plan on revisiting them.

No need. I know there was one because I used to use it. Boot up an installer for a DOSBox based game that's not been updated and click options and you'll see it there.

Thanks for the confirmation......well that seems odd. I guess you'll have to do it manually then. :\

(I didn't know this was even an option in older installers as I just installed the game then replaced it with an updated DosBox/tweaked the .conf files most times.)
Getting a gift that I already own makes me sad; I wish I could exchange it for a coupon or some such
any reason why when I try to pick this up and put the game in my cart (only item there) when I try to check out it won't process my order???
Thanks for the freebie! I can finally get the duke nukem 3D high res pack. Pretty sweet.
Thank you GOG, I was considering buying this game only the other day when... whey hey! you kindly offer it up for the enjoyment of all.
Thanks for this!

I'm gifting this super cool game to my friends. :DDD
thank you Santa.gog.com
Now if only we can get those Duke expansion packs. :)
