OK this may be a dumb question but will Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition available from this website run on W95,W98. ME, W2K? I know the specs show XP and later on this site but I see other sites that list W95 and up for version 1.5 - Thanks in advance for any response....

GOG officially only supports XP+

I can confirmed though that every installer on GOG works fine on Windows 2000.

For older Windows versions you'll have to either extract the files from the installer or install the game on a newer OS and copy over the files.

GOG's version of Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition runs through DOSBox, so any OS that DOSBox runs on will run the game. This includes all versions of Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.

If you want, you can try running the game through eDuke32 instead of DOSBox. This is an engine port that lets it urn natively in Windows and (optionally) adds several modern features. eDuke32 also runs on all verisons of Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Look around the GOG forums for more instructions on setting up to use eDuke32 if you want to try that.

yes, eduke32 is the right way to play this game. Also runs on just about anything.

My crappy laptop struggles with Duke in DOSBox at anything higher than 320x240. 400x300 is "just playable."

With eDuke32, as long as I don't activate the optional polymer engine, I play the game at ultra smooth 1920x1080.


I wish Monolith would release the Blood source code already so that people can make source ports of it ...
